Hard to top a week that begins with Groundhog Day (you can read some fun facts on this week's official* Ten Things of Thankful blog post), but top it, I will, because this is a week that begins with Groundhog Day, ends with the KC Chiefs playing in (and, hopefully, winning) the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, and, sandwiched in the middle, is my baby girl's birthday.
This week's TToT post could be called a sandwich post, then, as my list is dedicated to ten (of many more) thankfuls for my birthday girl, Emma Kate:
She has a wicked sense of humor.
She makes up her own mind, but not without researching the facts.
 |
| Camp counselor Emma, praying with a camper. |
If you ask for her opinion, she will give it. Be prepared!
She is compassionate about helping the underserved.
She is brave.
 |
| First dance solo, age 9 |
When she decides to do something, there is no stopping her.
 |
| Running for (and winning) the position of student body secretary at the University of Arkansas |
She is terrific fun on a road trip.
She is my very best friend, and spending the afternoon with her on her 22nd birthday was a gift to myself. Happy birthday, baby girl! Your future is bright!

| Happy 22nd! |
