18?????

Hard to believe that our little girl will be 18 years old Thursday! Auntie and Grandparents were here this week-end so we celebrated a little early. She has changed a little from when the first years of our married "family". She has been talking about college and wanting to going to LSU, in Baton Rouge! Says that is where she wants to go, so I guess we will be taking a road trip at some point in time. Of course, I think the Hammond branch sounds like a better school!!! I know Cassie and I are not "close" but she is still my child and I worry about her being so far from home and on her own. Please start praying for me now, even through it is still almost a year year a way, it is getting closer each day.

Jasper helped with the cake, we made a paper cake with money inside, he thought it was fun to stuff the boxes. Of course he also thought it was fun to help remove the money! Japser gave her 18 $1 bills, Sydney $18 and we gave her 18 $10 bills, then her daddy told her to add it all up! You know him and his math, always trying to teach us, I keep telling him not everyone sees numbers in their heads like he does. She also receive 18 packages, Jasper helped with those as well, I'm sure he thought it was another birthday for him or something. When they were all open he ran back to our bedroom and looked for more to bring out; he and Sydney carried them to the table for me.

Cassie opening gifts, think she was counting in the first picture. CHEESE....not sure where he got that, but it has stuck. Thought it was a good picture of them both.
