Seven

Seven years ago, after spending an extra week in-utero, this big squeezable baby graced our lives. She is always proud to report that "I was mom's biggest baby". And she was. Nine pounds and ten ounces. Now she is even bigger: in grade one, making her own lunch, and playing (very proudly) on an organized soccer team for the very first time. And her mom is attempting to coach her!

Her wishes for today: a sprinkle doughnut for breakfast (check), leaving school early (check) and a quick supper of hot dogs (we're gourmet here) then off to a soccer game.

Love you, M-cat. Happy Birthday.
