My Baby is Nine

I'm a bit late with this - her birthday was a week ago - but my little girl is in the last year of single-digit ages. I'd planned to scan a picture of her when she was about two to show how much she's grown but the scan turned out all psychedellic and not exactly what I wanted, so I just have a current picture. She did her hair all by herself, too. Isn't she pretty? Before I know it she'll be all grown up. I hope she spends a little time right now enjoying being a kid - there's plenty of time for drama later in life.

I don't know about you, but I think this early cold weather is for the birds. Trick or treating will be no fun at all with a big coat and all the accessories. At least I have some nice warm socks to keep my toes from freezing!
