9 year old



Wow! It is hard to believe that we have a 9 year old. Kind of scary - makes a person feel old to know that she is 1/2 way to being able to vote, and over 1/2 way to being able to drive. Kind of scary to think of how much technology has changed in just 9 years. Scanners & e-mail were just coming out into homes when Emily was born. We spent time sending voice clips to grandmas and grandpas when she began to babble. Now there are blogs, places to post videos, cell phones, ipods, blackberries, laptop computers... Wow! Just imagine what will be there in another 9 years.
We celebrated Emily's birthday by going to a favorite restraunt - Fiesta Mexicana. After dinner we opened presents and had some cake. Then she watched a short movie and got ready for bed. She had taken horse cookies to school for a class snack as her birthday always falls during Derby week. We will have her party with all the girls in her class next Saturday. She is going to have a jewelery making party. Should be a fun time.
