Karolina's Birthday Morning!

I think Karolina woke up earlier on her birthday than she did on Christmas! It is crazy how quickly time has passed. She is NINE years old and 9 is half of 18, and time just goes by faster and faster. REALLY, I only have half of my time left with her at home under the same roof as me. That just makes me want to make time stand still. Is that a possibility?
