Sweet 16

Busy day here at our house. Our oldest daughter's 16th birthday is tomorrow. We have been cleaning and working on the yard outside to get ready for our family and friends to join us tomorrow (Saturday) to help celebrate it.

Time really has gone fast and it is hard to believe that she will be 16. She is growing into a fine young lady that I am proud to call my daughter. She spent the day weeding the front flower bed and putting down mulch without complaint.

I am glad that I was able to homeschool her and have been able to be an even bigger part of her life than if we had gone the traditional route with schooling. She is very involved in a couple of home school cooperatives and has a busy social calendar just like regularly schooled teens. Yet, she still enjoys spending time with her family.

I know the next two years will seem to go by even more quickly as we prepare her for life on her own and following the plan that God has for her life. Looking forward to celebrating her special day tomorrow and then getting her driver's permit on Monday.

Here is an early Happy Birthday to my favorite 16 year old.
