I sometimes sit and wonder how the last twelve years have passed so quickly.  I will never forget the moment you made me “Mama”.  The doctor place you on my chest and I was shocked at how tiny you were.  Six pounds, two ounces of a squishy baby girl who would forever change my life.  You are one of the most stubborn and head strong people on this earth.  I pray you learn that the hard way is not always the best way to do things.  I sat in awe today as we at lunch with your friends.  You have become a young adult right before my eyes.  We talked about chain letters, telephones and sugary snacks.  I rolled my eyes at the chorus of  ”OMG”s and “Really?, Really!”  But don’t grow up too fast!  There is plenty of time for boys, school dances and watching midnight premieres of movies you aren’t quite old enough to see.  I pray that you have happy days and no heartaches.  But I know that you will have heartache, from friends and boys, and when that happens Daddy and I will be here for you.  Enjoy being twelve..the crazy life as an adult can wait! I can’t wait to watch you grow into the wonderful woman I know you can be!  Happy Birthday Emma Marie Noel!  I love your face!

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl, Clara!  Today you are ten years old–and double digits rule!  You have become such a little lady and I’m proud of all that you are!  Your heart is so large that there is not a person you meet that doesn’t become your best friend.  You are brave and strong but still need to come sleep with us when you’ve had a bad dream (and we love it.)  You want to be cool and ride your scooter with your friends while listening to all of your tunes on your ipod but you still need to sleep with Greenie.  Your glasses and room are messy most of the time but I guess that is to be expected.  You keep us laughing with your silly jokes and overly obvious observations.  Your Daddy and I are proud and blessed to be your parents!  Raising you keeps us on our toes!  I hope your 10th birthday was awesome. I love your face little girl!
