Sophie turns 7


WOW, I can't believe it but today my baby girl turns 7 years old! It has been quite a week for her as she has lost both her front teeth. Last Sunday on the way back home from Ohio we stopped off at German Village in Columbus, Ohio and picked up a Jumbo creme puff from Schmidt's Sausage Haus....these award winning creme puffs were highlighted on the Food Network a few weeks ago. Well, Sophie lost the first of the teeth to one of the delicious creme puffs :-) The other one was so loose on one edge that it was almost horizontal in her mouth so by Thursday I couldn't take it anymore. I tied some floss around it and yank...it was gone! It didn't hurt at all and she was happy to get a visit from the tooth fairy again.

To celebrate her birthday she asked (or shall I say begged) for a Hannah Montana/Girls Rock slumber party. After long consideration, I said yes and we had 8 girls over last night. We hooked a microphone to the amp and John hooked up the video recorder in the basement so that they could see themselves on the big screen. They Loved it! They had a blast singing and dancing and being "rock stars" for a day :-)



Today is her actual birthday and we're just spending it together. Right now, dad is setting up the game Grandma & pa Porter sent her. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa she is very excited about it.

John and I got her a Fender Squirer Strat ---her very own guitar. She is loving piano right now and singing all the time so I'm trying encourage her musical side as much as I can and for as long as I can. She was pumped when she saw it and has been jamming on it.

Ok, time for me to stuff some cotton in my ears! :-)

p.s. check out the video of everyone singing happy birthday to Sophie and the silly conversation once John lit the sparkler candle.....see below
