OOOOOO I can’t believe this girl is turning ELEVEN today!!!  How did that happen??

My sweet girl, I’m so proud of you and the beautiful young lady you are becoming.  You are strong and brave and smart and funny and kind.  You are a great big sister and a good friend.  I love watching you on stage doing your thing and being totally fearless.  I love watching you read to your brothers or helping to take care of them.  I love hearing your silly laughs and your beautiful singing voice.  I’m so glad you’re my girl and that you made me a momma.  With patience and grace, we’re gonna figure this thing out together.  We’re Stoups.  We can do hard things!!

I love you so much, my beautiful sweet girl!!  I can’t wait to see what adventures this year will bring you!

Our favorite movie is Singing in the Rain so of course we had to squeeze in a fun little shoot too!
