Erika is 10. Erika is my sweet little girl that is growing up way too fast! She is a mini-me (not looks, just personality). She doesn't stop thinking, worries about things completely out of her control, and is very hard on herself. OK, so putting my mom through all those dramatic years I knew I had it coming. She's definitely worth every ounce of my energy. She doesn't do anything without really thinking about it first, which is such a wonderful trait to have in today's world. She got a t-shirt for her birthday which states: "Cute and in control." Pretty much sums her up!
