Sweet Sixteen




Happy Sweet Sixteen!
It is amazing how quickly sixteen years have passed by. At times they have seemed to drag but hindsight is clear--it has been a blink.
I remember bringing her home from the hospital, the spitting image of her father. I remember putting the darling little girl clothes on her. Waking her up to eat because she was just so sleepy. She was a little Precious Moments baby. Her hair was almost black when she was born and then it grew in a soft wispy blonde. She was a beautiful, mild baby and is now a lovely determined young woman. I am amazed at how quickly she has grown.
This beautiful girl turned sixteen this morning so she was greeted with a stack of sixteen pancakes in honor of her special day. She wasn't able to eat them all! We had a surprise party for her last night. I am amazed that we actually pulled it off!

Rose!
Thank you for your sweet email and for sharing these photos on our blog. What a beautiful daughter and such an impressive stack of pancakes.

I'm giddy that this little tradition might live on. I know it will at our house.

Thank YOU.
