Wow, what a year "7" was for little Lola! We made some pretty amazing memories when the pandemic hit, and we were stuck at home. Unfortunately, 6 months at home led to a rough start back to the hardest school year yet. I love that my baby just wants to be with her mom, dad and sister more than anything. But that created some challenges getting back to school and other activities. As we enter this 8th year of her life, she has made some major strides and has learned some very valuable lessons that I hope she carries with her throughout life.

Focus on the positive. Be grateful. Never say you can't.

When Lola was faced with a challenge last week, my heart about exploded when I heard her say to herself,

"I think I can do it....no, I KNOW I can do it!"

Peace out 7! Bring on 8!

Happy birthday, LoJo! (Don't worry, you'll always be my baby!!)
