I can't believe my oldest baby girl is 20 years old today.
Sierra Elizabeth:
I am so proud of all of the hard work you've put in over the years ~
at 20 years old you have finished school, passed all your state boards, and
are running your own business ~ making people look and feel their very best.
I love the beautiful life you are building for yourself.
I pray that this next year is the best yet, with many new adventures and memories to be made.
Love you to the moon!
I was chatting with a friend the other day, and I said:
If I really let myself feel all the feels through life ~
all the emotions when I walk past baby aisles,
or when I find a book I used to read to the girls when they were tiny.
When I think of the fact that my oldest will be 20 this year,
and my second oldest is officially a Senior in high school;
and when I catch a glimpse of old photographs marking, what seem to be, a much simpler time.
If I stopped to fully let those emotions wash over me ~
I don't think I'd ever stop crying.
There are so many moments in time that I miss so much it physically hurts.
So when it's time to celebrate another birthday, it's definitely bittersweet.
Today, Taylor turns 11.
My youngest baby girl.
And if truth be told, she's kind of 11 going on 25.
Because ever since she's been born, she's tried to keep up with her older sisters.
{And also because she's taller than me, but whatever}
Happy Birthday, Taylor Grace!!
Tay-Tay, you are such a vibrant, passionate spirit!
You are a hard worker. I can always count on you to pitch in.
You have care and concern for others, and love to help out with the animals.
You always have the best ideas, and make each day a joy!
Happy Birthday Darling Girl!
It is so hard for me to believe that my little Kenner-Bug who told the best stories,
and had the silliest sayings, is now just one year shy of being an adult.
The years have passed much too quickly.
Kenners, I know this year has had its rough patches, but I hope you always know
just how incredible you are.
You are compassionate and kind, loving and creative.
You are a passionate soul: which occasionally results in a hot temper.
{But we respect your convictions ~ and one day your passion and devotion will serve you well}.
Just hang on tight, follow God's path for your life, and love with all your heart . . .
Amazing things are coming your way.
Love you to the moon, baby girl!
Happy 17th Birthday!
