This is my youngest child, Jenelle. Today is her birthday and she is exactly halfway to becoming a newly licensed driver in the state of Connecticut.
`
Translation: she's turning 8 years old today.
`
Her favorite activities include dancing (hip-hop, group tap and solo tap, and ballet) and competitive figure skating.
`
As you can see in this picture, she also loves stuffed animals. To that end, she'll be having her birthday party this afternoon at Build-A-Bear with six of her closest friends.

Happy Birthday Jenelle, wishing her many beautiful stuffed animal gifts. How great to be eight!
Happy birthday Jenelle!
Thanks, I will make sure to pass on your birthday wishes to her.
Aw... your daughter is beautiful! I used to love stuffed animals when I was a kid, too... I believe I amassed a collection of over 100 before I "outgrew" them (although honestly, I don't think I EVER outgrew them... :)). Hope she has a very happy birthday!
Thanks....I don't think she'll ever "outgrow" her very large collection of stuffed animals.
I think they'll just hang around her room growing comfortably old with her.
Happy B-Day Jenelle.
Happy birthday. Eight is a great age. Nice picture too.
TRUTH
Thanks everyone.
I'll pass these wishes on as well.
Happy birthday to the little one from us over here in England.
I was just thinking that when I was eight Jimmy Carter was President and the Bee Gees were cool... Happy Birhday Jenelle and enjoy this time.
...now I want to build a bear!
Happy Birthday, if you pout just right, you can get extra cake!
Many thanks everyone.
I'll pass on these birthday wishes to her as well.
She was very much pleased with the birthday wishes she got from everyone else yesterday.
She had a very good day yesterday. A new teddy, a nifty pizza party and some cool presents. She even made the party favors for everyone as well.
Err, umph. I went to a UK version of build a bear to make a 'teddy doctor' to celebrtae the tenth anniversary of my having openheart surgery to replce a dud valve.
The bear was nade just over 2 years ago, when I was 52 years old!!
Happy day for yesterday, It will be all downhill in a couple of years.
Congratulations for you on a successful ten year anniversary!
It might be downhill after that, once she discovers a greater use of the telephone.
Hope the day was happy for your daughter! She's so cute with all those stuffed animals!! my daughter's is actually today, and she wants to go rock climbing!
Happy Birthday to Jenelle. I have an 8 y.o. daughter too, but hadn't thought about her being half-way to having a driver's license. Yikes! (popped over from Travis' blog)
Thank you for your b'day wishes, I'll be sure to pass them on to her.
Yeah, it's a bit scary that she's halfway there. However, I'll trade that issue for abusing the telephone straight up.
Many thanks for stopping by mine to say hi. I'll be sure to check yours out.
Happy birthday to your daughter!
I ice skated last week and I marvel at people who can do more than go around with sore ankles. What a beautiful sport! Good for her.
Thanks.
She's been skating since she was three and has gotten very good at it.
I marvel at what she can do as well.
Oh a little girl! Lucky you! I love my three boys but a little girl would have been nice too..
Happy birthday to the young lady!
She is just gorgeous! I loved being able to enlarge the photo to get a closer look.
How many children do you have?
I have two.
My son Jeremy is almost 16 1/2.
And thank you for the compliment.
Yes she is lovely. And how nice to have a big brother. He must think the world of her.
95% of the time. The other 5%, well, you know...
