Happy 11th Birthday, Erica!!

Wow .... 11 years really go by fast. Scott and I are thinking how old we are getting and that we should NOT have an 11 year old or a child going into middle school!! Are we really that old already? All in fun, of course ..... Erica is growing up ... she is on the swim team at school this year trying that out, today is her orientation, I had to buy PE clothes so she can start changing, she is changing classes this year every 47 minutes .... she has a locker now for God's sake!!! She can wear a woman's shoe instead of kids ... she got money for her birthday in which we went shopping together and she bought her own clothes she picked out ..... she wants Altoids for her purse.....yet there are endearing things that still make her innocent and sweet ... a lingering hug first thing in the morning ... temper tantrums but then I hear those only get worse .... "can I sleep with you tonight?" questions ... and still doesn't like scarey movies :) Yeah for us!!! Oh, the fun has only begun!!!
