My second child just turned SEVEN. Seven. Seven. Seven. Silly Seven.

This post is about Emma. But it’s also about me, because I swear I just blinked and almost a fifth of my life whizzed by.

And that makes me sad….yet happy at the same time. I’ve enjoyed watching Emma grow and develop more than words can express. It’s been a wonderfully happy fifth of my life.

Thank goodness for memories. Family gathered together. Incredibly sweet, loving children… and SIL’s willing to make the birthday cake to exact specifications so that mom doesn’t have to.

    Your sister in law’s cake is lovely too!

  44. You know, I have a very handsome 7 year old boy at my house and if the next couple of seven year sets whiz by as fast as these have, maybe we should contact a match maker about these two…

    Just sayin….

  106. The Thompson's says

    Hey Angie,

    I just had to share something with you. As I sit here sick as a dog, barely able to move, and only able to sit at my computer long enough to check emails, these are the thoughts I have:

    First of all Im thinking if someones else would follow my blog and get me off of that 66 number it would sure make me feel better. I think its the longest I have ever been on any one number and probably has something to do with me not blogging much lately due to my illness. I know its not the other number, you know the one with another 6 at the end of it, but to me it might as well be.

    So I get one of your comments and I stop by (feeling bad enought that I havent been able to participate in your carnival) just to see how things are going for you and notice that our blog is now on your blog roll. It could have been there for weeks for all I know, but the important thing is that it is there. I am proud to be a daddy blogger, and even prouder to call you my friend.

    Anyway, so I didnt get my 67th follower, but I did see that on your blog and it did put a smile on my face. Thanks Ang, your the best!

    Love and Prayers,

    Tim

  107. Happy Birthday to your not-so-little girl! What a great cake! You were lucky to find someone “in house” to create it!

    And those were cute jeans in the earlier post (can you tell I’m trying to catch up from vacation). And I think you always look so cute! : )

    And I love the Peter Pan photos too!

  108. Happy birthday to the prettiest redheaded 7 year old I “know.”

    p.s. Libbey turns 7 on the 31st. Sigh…

  109. Krazy Armstrong K's! says

    Happy Birthday big girl!!
