Happy 8th Birthday Anna!

Happy 8th Birthday to my sweet Anna!

  I know mom's tend to be a little sentimental about their first born and I am no different.  This sweet first born child survived all my "first-time mom" mistakes.  I read every book under the sun to make sure I would do the best job possible as a mom.  I was a wreck trying to do everything "right!"  But Anna just kept on growing, smiling, laughing and loving me!  I should have thrown out every book except the one that told me to RELAX! :)

Today Anna is a beautiful 8 year old girl.  I am so lucky I get to be her mom.
She enjoys acronyms, so I am doing one for her today.....
