Morgan's wonderful week

Wow!!!!!!! My little princess continues to grow up. As I have said many times I am having a really hard time with my baby growing up. I'm sure it boils down to the control that I want to have over her life. As she gets older I am losing more and more of that control. I have given my children over to the LORD many times. I repeatedly say to myself, they are not your children Kristan they are God's. Well, these words keep getting harder and harder as they grow up.
This week Morgan had a very exciting week. She reached to major milestones. The first occurred on Friday at school during chapel when she received a certificate in front of the school that she was caught being good. This certificate is like getting student of the month. Three other kids got this award and at some point in the year all of the kids will get one. But, for this day and this moment I felt like my daughter was the center of the world. I of coursed had to fight back the tears as I watched her go up on stage and get this award. I waved and smiled and made a complete fool of myself, but I didn't care!!!!!
The second milestone came on Saturday when she lost her first tooth. This was a huge deal because alot of her friends have been losing teeth for a while. Morgan has been really excited for this moment to happen. I think she has been playing with her teeth for the last six months trying to get one to fall out. Well yesterday was the day. She told Ryan and I that her lose tooth had to come out. She went in the bathroom and came out with one less tooth. Of course I cried again for this step in her life.
My prayer for this little angel is she will continue to grow in the Lord and strive to be the best Godly women she can be.
Thank you Lord that I have been able to experience such a wonderful gift on earth.
