Today's Wednesday Wonder is not the kind of Wonder we usually spotlight.
She is, however, the daughter of yours truly, and nepotism has its perks.
She's a Wonder because she was a miracle baby - the only baby that successfully made it through the gestation period after I had many miscarriages.
She's a Wonder because she's perfectly healthy with a keen wit and a loving heart.
She's a Wonder because every kid is a Wonder.
And she's today's Wednesday Wonder because she entered this world eight years ago on this date.
Happy 8th Birthday, Gigi! Mama and Daddy love you!!!
LOVE this tribute to your daughter, Deborah! Children sure are a wonder! :) Happy Birthday to Gigi!

Hi Gigi!
I'm so sorry I missed your birthday yesterday. Here's wishing you a belated Happy 8th Birthday! I'm sure you had a brilliant day! Any chance of sending a slice of your birthday cake over to me here in Ireland or is it all gone?!
Deborah, Gigi is the perfect choice for your Wednesday Wonder and she is such a cutie!
Posted by: Heather Maria | March 4, 2010 at 06:11 AM
Gigi, hope you had a terrific day - I missed this post yesterday as my "baby" was SIX.... he shares the same birthday as you and was born in Chicago.
I hope you did something fun on your Birthday and enjoy being EIGHT... wow, EIGHT.... Hugs to you and your wonderful Mom all the way from Ireland.

Happy birthday Gigi! I hope it was wonderful! I was so looking forward to the Gigi interview.. :( Deborah you must interview Gigi and post it. We love to hear about what gigi is up to..
Posted by: stampersuzz | March 4, 2010 at 07:36 AM
Sue, what a great idea! I love the idea of interviewing her. I should really do one every year, probably, to see how she changes as she grows. Love this idea!!!
