Noelle is now Nine. It is very surreal as a parent watching one of your children as they are transitioning somewhere between childhood and adolescence. Noelle is no longer a little girl, neither is she a big girl. But one thing is for sure Darren and I are loving the little lady that we see her becoming everyday. I look back at her baby pictures and want so very much to go back in time and kiss her chubby cheeks and do it all over again, being the person I am now, with what I have learned up to this point. But I can't, that is part of the process. The successes and the failures that I had with Noelle made me the person that I am today. I hope that I will be able to help Noelle see the beautiful person she is and all the potential that she possesses. Happy 9th birthday Noelle!
