...at 4:21am my first little baby was born. She actually started her journey out around 11pm on July 28th, but took her ol' sweet time to be born....like all of my kids, but Lyndsay was the sloooooooowest to be born. It was a thrilling time for Jim and I, becoming parents on that day. Something that we had waited for until the time was just right...and it couldn't have been more perfect. Our sweet baby girl, with just a hint of that marvelous red hair was here...and my heart has never been the same.
Lyndsay, in honor of your 22nd birthday, Dad and I would like to list 22 things that we love about you.
- Your amazing beautiful radiant gorgeous smile.
- Your ability to light up a room when you enter it.
- You make even the most mundane thing (laundry, washing dishes) fun when I do it with you.
- Your laugh...It makes me always want to laugh, too.
- Your love for your brother and sister.
- Your "awww, Dad" when Dad says something nice about you.
