Eight is Great!

How did this sweet girl of mine get to be eight?  I acknowledge my fortune everyday that Kiley came in to my world.  Kiley is a sweet, fun-loving, sensitive kid.  She gives love readily and loves to be cared for.  She enjoys being style-conscious, but I find that she resorts to a few loved staples.  She loves to get lots and lots of books at the library and finds it impossible to keep her bedroom remotely picked up.  She still loves chocolate.  She likes her hair long.  She leaves me notes when she's sad (I did this too to my mother when I was young).  LOVE this kid.
