Megan is nine!

My baby girl turned nine this weekend. With it being a busy holiday weekend we didn’t have a party, but instead borrowed the neighbors pool for some family fun and then had cupcakes and presents. She will have a little friend party next week. I surprised Megan with an electric scooter that she has wanted for years. I just couldn’t justify spending that much money but alas I found one at a garage sale for $20 that was in near perfect condition. She loves it! I can’t get her to stay off it except when it needs to be charged. She also scored a soccer bag from my mom, some cash from my dad and his wife, a soccer ball, a new helmet and she is getting a new bike (once it arrives).

We sure love our Megan. She is the hardest working nine year old I know. As a matter of fact, she insisted on making the cupcakes for her OWN birthday! She is a very caring. When she sees I am stressed she jumps right in to help out. If something needs to be done, she is the first to do it. She is my right-hand man in most situations. She is also an all-around athlete. She swims, plays basketball and has recently joined a competitive soccer team. We love her so much and are enjoying watching her as she grows into a beautiful young woman.
