Grandma's Girl...

Penny is 13 today! I can't believe it--what a sweet girl she is. Her parents have prepared her for her teens and they gave her a fun party today with all her little girlfriends. I watched her be so caring to some of the little girls who were younger than the others and those who didn't know some of the others. Just like when she was "3" and upon opening a 2nd Cinderella video tape, she beamed and exclaimed with utter gratefulness of heart, "now I have two!", today I again watched her grateful spirit at work with her friends. Yes, I believe she is prepared and my heart prays that God will be her counselor and friend as she grows and matures over these next crucial and exciting years of her life. She is my first grandchild and will always have that special place in my and her Grandpa's heart. True to form, he took her out for a special Grandpa date last night--he told her he was looking for a 12-year old--no thirteen year olds allowed! So cute! If you're listening or happen by Penny, I am so proud of you and I'm praying for you and love you so much Grandma's girl!
