Hannah Hates Cats

I came home from class on Monday and Hannah showed me her newest drawing:

Then she showed me why she felt that way:

I think I hate her friend's cat, too!

No furry spawn of Satan gets to hurt my baby!!

Growing Up

Is it bad to tell your child to quit growing up? Because I do that all the time.

Hannah is 10 now, and it's creeping me out. At the same time, I am completely thrilled at watching her grow and mature and become a young lady. I just wish it weren't happening so fast...

I missed the actual date by a few weeks, but here are TEN things I LOVE about my little girl:

1. She is HILARIOUS without trying!
2. She is inherently spiritual and wants to be good.
3. She makes me want to be better.
4. She is wise beyond her years.
5. She is a much better child than I ever deserved, but the Lord new I couldn't have survived with anyone less wonderful!
6. She still believes in Santa and I LOVE it!
7. She loves to snuggle up and watch NCIS and Castle with me.
8. She knows that Santa and Jesus are best friends - so they can work out any gifting conundrums.
9. She writes me letters and love notes! (sample to be posted soon)
10. She's the bright spot in my every day.
