We are in the process of turning Meg's room into a "big girl room". She has new furniture arriving on Tuesday and today the room is being painted pink - mostly "bright hot pink" as Megan requested.
We were almost finished clearing out her room ealier today as I took a print off the wall. I had chosen it when we were 1st pregnant with Megan and it has always meant a lot to me. It became the theme for her room and I even bought a comforter set that was of the same theme.
Today, I realized that it's baby colors andt heme no longer go with her more grown up room.
Megan asked me to read the words of the print to her. As I did, tears ran down my face, remembering the miracle that our Megan is (well that both of our girls are) and how long we waited for her and all the dreams I still have for her. I love that over 6 yrs later it still means a lot to me. Now to find a special place to keep it!
Here's what it says-
Little One
It is the morning of your life
and all your dreams are just begining.
May you touch fireflies and stars,
dance with fairies, and talk to the man
in the moon. May you grow up with love
and gracious hearts and people who care.
Welcome to the world, little one,
it's been waiting for you.

Birthday Party Fun!!
Last weekend we celebrated Meg's 6th birthday. I can't believe she is 6!
Saturday we did an adult party and it was quiet and calm and enjoyable.
Sunday we did her kid party, it was not quiet and not calm, but it was fun! We did the party at Pump It Up, an inflatable jumpy thingy place. Even though about half of the invited guests were sick and not able to come we had a BALL!
The kids ran and played, many of the adults did the same.
Nana even jumped and slid down the slides and laughed. It was so good to see her smile.
The staff took care of pretty much everything- I just had to bring the cake and drinks. They set up the room, monitored the kids and kept things moving, cut and gave out the cake, wrote down the list of gifts, cleaned up. That was nice to be able to enjoy and not be stressed! So worth the $$!
Megan had a really good time and that is what is most important!
