My Darling Daughter Number Two Turns Eleven...

Posted in Family

I remember when my Darling was born. She was so sweet and tiny. At 6lbs 14ozs, she was smaller than her sister (later to be the smallest of my babies). She prides herself on being the tiniest. Through the years, she was a little, spirited thing. Her grandpa used to call her a "pistol". She was definitely full of spunk.

Not much has changed. At eleven, she is very determined. It warms my heart to see the fire in her. She is not "wishy-washy", but focused and direct. Yet, she has a tenderness that can melt your heart. She has a love for the little ones in her life, always caring for the younger children and making them feel safe and comfortable.

I sometimes wonder how she could get better, but I know she will. This is only the beginning of her life. She has no idea what direction she will go, but I can sense that she is getting ready for the ride.

What a great testimony to Dear Daughter #2! She's a sweetie as are all your children. We call my sister's children 'pistol balls'. Don't know where that saying comes from, but I thought it was neat we share a similar saying...north vs. south and all. ;) Anyway, I wished #2 Happy Birthday on Friday. Hope she had a great day.

#2 Happy, Happy Birthday!

You are quite a little pistol, although I'm leaning in the direction of calling you a little firecracker! As they say, "Dynamite comes in small packages!"

Hope your birthday is one to remember!

Please share with your DD#2 my Happiest of Birthday wishes. And now I know at least one reason why we moved to the "country" from the "city" down the highway ~ so I could meet your beautiful girls. All of them have truly blessed my heart (meant in a good way) and my life. :-) Remember a mama can only take so much of the "manly rowdiness" of having boys. :-)

I can certainly relate to your comments. My dd will be turning 11 in March. My how time flies. They seem to have a lot in common. I truly hope you all had a wonderful celebration of her day. Please pass on our belated wishes to her.

What a beautiful post about your daughter. I hope to be able to say similar things about my daughter in a few more years.

Thanks also for noticing the changes to my blog. I've been working on it. (slowly when I get time ;-) )
