8 going on 18

She's just turned 8 in August. A Leo in every way - stubborn, head strong, but a heart of gold. In addition to her closest girl friends, we were glad to have Mark & Chris with us for the celebration. Mark & Chris are our friends from church and they have a really special bond with Erica and Tim. We praise and thank God for our two beautiful miracles.

This year's cake's was lovingly decorated by Dad ... who did an excellent job!

Gym Girl

Erica represented her school at the Eastern Zone Gym competition, came in 3rd in the Individual competition and went on to represent them in the Auckland School Champion of Champions competition.

We were really happy for her when she was selected to represent her school but because she had never done gym prior to her selection, we really weren't sure how she was going to do. So, the results were very pleasing. As for mum, watching her do that beam routine was a bit of a heart stopper for me.
