Twenty two years ago we were blessed to welcome Lindsey into the world in a birth center (not a hospital). After she arrived a little after midnight, they checked her out and said good night. We put her between us and I don't remember whether we slept or not. I do remember that we forgot to put a diaper on her. We were brand new to the whole parenting thing, that's for sure. I never even held a baby until I had my own.
This year, multiple celebrations ensured with 22 presents and chocolate on chocolate. A girl after my own heart.
Twenty-two lights up a room.
A little help from her friend is always welcome.
This child of ours is special.
She never complains:
- Sharing a room with girls 10+ years younger.
- Helping out with the littles.
- Compassion for the lost.
- Listening to Mom.
- Oldest of nine.
- Shopping.
- Cooking.
Celebrating our first gift from God who has a heart for Him.
What else could a mother ask for....
It must be such a joy to see your baby grow up to be such a compassionate, considerate woman.
