9 years

Nine years ago on a Monday at 2:10pm my life forever changed.
Oct 18th, 2004 - I became a mother.
A mother to this adorable baby girl with tons of black hair

She's been all my firsts.
My first baby.  My first daughter. My first sleep deprivation.  My first crawler, walker, talker etc.
My first mistakes as a mother (good thing she often accepts my apologies). Dang near my first of everything.
She was my first chunk:

And she continues to brings lots of firsts into our lives.

Our sweet, sweet E......Happy 9th Birthday!
We are proud of the young lady you are becoming.  You are kind and generous to others.
You are a great big sister.  we LOVE you!!!

We look forward to all the 'firsts' yet to come :)
