My children are growing up so incredibly fast!! I am in disbelief that my first born baby, Morgan, will be turning 15 in just a couple of months!! YIKES!! It truly was only yesterday that she was born!! Tonight, on my last birthday in my 30's (GULP), my precious baby girl is on Freshman Retreat with her high school homeroom. I wrote her a retreat letter about how and when she became "real" to me, to go along with the theme of her retreat "The Velveteen Rabbit". It was very difficult for me to sit down and start that letter to her, but once I started, it all came out and I ran out of the allowed "legal size" paper they provided before I really finished telling her how much she means to me. I can remember all those precious little moments of her life from the moment she first took a breath in this world. She was the most amazing little miracle and I was in awe that God gave me such a tiny, perfect little daughter... I had dreamed of her my entire life.
Here is my baby, Catherine Morgan, at one day old... isn't she beautiful?
I smile when I look at her newborn picture... it looks like she is doing the hula dance and actually smiling!! That was a good prediction for her personality as she grew...
She would not be alive today if it weren't for pasta... this child has eaten pasta almost every day of her life!! The variety when she was little was the shape of the pasta!! Look at this picture of her when she was two enjoying her "pasketti".
Now, my girl is a young woman and stands taller than me (thank goodness) and I am as much in love with my "baby" as I was the day she was born.
I love this child and would give my life for her!!!
This song says it all...
Love and FROG,
Sarah
