Happy Birthday

It's been 13 years...

13 years since I sat in that bathroom stall holding the proof that you were growing within me.

13 years!

Look how far we've come... together... We conquered being a team, just you and me, for 3.5 years. We moved to Europe! We welcomed daddy into our home. Two new sisters came along. We traveled to so many places... so many countries... and then we came home to TX. 

You made friends... you lost friends... you got through 8 years of school, as an honor roll student! You grew, from the tiny bean in my belly to being as tall as me. You borrow my shoes now. If I was skinnier, you'd be wearing my clothes.

And through it all, my love... I have never forgotten...

Your very first day of kindergarten

The day you became a big sister

Your very first best friend

That strawberry blonde hair and those beady blue eyes

Your first boyfriend

This sweetest face

Checking on you before going to bed at night

The exceptional team we made

Those cheeks :D

The grin you had when you accomplished something as simple as crawling

That silly laugh

Your first bike (that Victoria rides now!)

Our first Christmas, together

Who you are, today
13 years! Happy Birthday my beautiful, intelligent, witty, funny, sweet girl. You are my whole world, and I LOVE you.
