pardon me, but....

I am CRAZY about this girl right now!

She positively glows! She is absolutely loving jr. high, and life in general, and it is such a relief to me.... She is by no means perfect, (her room is rarely clean and she is still mean to her sister sometimes) But wow, 12 is a super fun age! I wish I could bottle that enthusiasm for life and give it back to her in a few years, when I'm sure she'll be making me crazy in other ways. Right now, I'll enjoy every minute of it. Sometimes I am amazed that I gave birth to her.

Becky- give me some advise, she's great at 12 but how was she at nine??? Did she give you attitude? fI am still trying to figure this "tween" thing out. Any words of wisdom?

9 10 and 11 were hard with Abby....that's why I am loving 12 so much!!!!

So cute! Can't wait for all the fun I will have with my sweet girls! What a great attitude you have also!

I love Abby too. I was just telling Mom the other day that Abby glows with the light of Christ.

Whew! I am also relieved she is loving Jr. High! :) And loving to read that you are loving Jr. High AND Abby! My 10-year-old is easy. Should I be worried? I guess boys are different than girls. I am certainly terrified of Jr. High for him. But luckily we have 5th and 6th grade to worry about first.

Abby is beautiful!

How fun. I love 12. Mine is a boy and not in Jr. High yet, but 12 is a fantastic age. Glad Abby is loving Jr. High.

Becky, after careful consideration, we definitely are NOT old enough to have 12 year olds.

Lovin' the positive energy...what a keepsake for Abby to be able to look back and read one day.

Oh I love abby! She is so sweet and a great berry picker... I keep meaning to talk to you about the bus stop. Do you want to meet or have Cole walk to your house they pass by twice so I think he could pick them both up. Anyway let me know...
I love 12! both Shae and Cole were so good at that age. Enjoy while you can and soak it in. It will keep you a float later...(lol)

Abby seems so confident and sweet!!
I am so glad she is loving Jr. High. I used to worry about Jr high for my kids but seeing everyone else's kids go and love it eases my mind.

Bracken was great at twelve too. it was 13 that killed me.lol (But boys and girls are a whole different ballgame! Just to prove my point, Riley came home today and told me she wants to take karate instead of dance. Heaven help me!

I am loving my almost 12 year old. I agree they are so fun. He is growing up so fast and loving it.

She looks just like you it is amazing. I would love to know your kids.
