I'm the mother of a teenager!

Well, yesterday my first born child turned 13. She's an official teenager!!! That is a picture of both of my children on Christmas morning, 2003, right after they had turned 6 and 8. They are now 11 and 13! I just can't believe it. Three more years and she'll be driving! And in 5½ years she'll be in college. Where does the time go?

She was born on a Thursday, and I remember my nurse coming in Sunday morning saying "Okay, you're cleared to go home!" I remember a feeling of panic creeping over me. Where they really going to let this helpless newborn child come home with me? I mean, I hadn't even changed a diaper until she was born! We had a crib and child seat ready, but we weren't really ready! Now you want me to take care of her?! By the grace of God, we did so. And she is growing into such a lovely young lady of whome I am so proud. Happy Birthday Sweetie. I love you big bunches!
