My Sweet Erika

I took my girl out on a mommy daughter date today. :) We really had such a NICE time!  She is growing up so fast before my eyes. She is a far cry from the sweet little TINY girl we brought home 5 years ago. :)
Erika has such a sense of calm and serenity about her.  She is sure  and confident.  And she loves the Lord Jesus. 
So today, we just enjoyed each other's company. :)  We went to eat lunch and then to World Market and covered every inch of that FABULOUS store! :) 
Tomorrow, is her turn for her daddy daughter date. She told me on the way home that she had requested they go out in the boat.
I asked, "Who will drive the boat while daddy parks the trailer?"  There was this simple silence with a hopeful smile...... LOL   She said, "Daddy has promised to teach me!"
So, this will be continued....... and I will NOT be there for that event! LOL
