Happy 13th Birthday to our Newest Teen!
It's hard to believe that 13 years ago on June 10, 2004 you were born! Both your older sister and your older brother were born on Friday, the 19th, so exactly 17 months apart. Your sister was born on Friday, May 19th and your brother on Friday, October 19th. So it would have been nice if you kept the "19th" day birthday tradition going, but holding you in my womb for 9 more days would have been...well, not so fun! :)
You were loved from the start and what a surprise it was when you came into this world with a head full of beautiful, dark hair! We were in awe of you, God's blessing, and we couldn't believe the amount of hair God blessed you with! You looked like you had a wig! Your big sister is wearing a pink t-shirt that says "I'm the BIG Sister" and your big brother is wearing a blue t-shirt that says "I'm the BIG Brother" in the photo. I made these shirts for your siblings and wrapped them up for your brother's 2nd birthday. At his party, they each opened the t-shirts and this is how we told family and friends I was pregnant with you! It was very exciting to share our joyful news in this way!
This picture was taken just before your first mass visit. You looked so beautiful with your pink and white lace outfit. It was a lovely day to bring you to our church for the first time!
Here you are at 4 1/2 months old, our Little Pumpkin. You even had a pumpkin stem! :)
Here you are at 9 months old with your brother and sister and you still have a head full of beautiful dark (now with streaks of blond) hair! I had to put bows in your hair at 9 weeks old and since you never lost your hair, as many people thought you would, we continued to keep the hair out of your eyes with pretty bows!
You have always been a big helper as you helped paint our new house!
You love being silly with your siblings!
You are such a great big sister!
You love God and your Catholic faith and my prayer is that you always will!
I love watching you run, dribble, and kick the soccer ball. You are
athletic and competitive, yet humble and a team player on and off the
field.
For your 13th birthday, you wanted to keep things simple and sweet so we had fun shopping for clothes together then we went to the sound and beach with family and friends!
Happy 13th Birthday sweet girl!
You now make the 3rd teen in our home! Oh my! You
bring so much joy and love to our lives! We are so blessed to have you
in our family!
