Happy Birthday Shelby

Well, I thought I would give this a shot. This week has been a fun one for me and the kids. Mom was down most this week and it was great having her around. Also, my little girl is going to be 10 tomorrow and I wanted to take some time to celebrate her.

It is hard to me to believe that it has been 10 years. Wow! How the time has flown! I can remember vividly just waiting, thinking that she would never arrive but 3 weeks early on November 23,1998 she decided to make her grand entrance into the world. She was a beautiful baby 5lbs.6oz. and just PERFECT!!!!!!!! After 10 days in the Hospital we finally brought her home and Little did I know that things would never be the same and Thank God for that. She has been a blessing in our family and is growing up to be a wonderful daughter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

Just a side note: I turned 30 on the 14th and Shelby turning 10 has hit me a lot harder.

Yea! I'm excited about your blog!! How fun!
We were talking about Ms. Shelby today. Grace & I were looking at some pics from Loretta's wedding & at the kids then. It's amazing how Shelby has grown! Ya know - the chubbier cheeks are no longer :) Big hugs to each of you!

Man...double digits for Shelby. I remember the day she was born. I was in Illinois and I called Adam (at home in Texas) and he said that she was born! Your mom and dad left in that night, and then Adam drove the rest of the girls up to Missouri. Crazy!! I can't believe how grown up she is! Congrats on the big 30. Please tell me it's not that bad, because I am freaking out! Welcome to the blogging world! It's ADDICTIVE!

I have to say that 30 did not bother me. I am really excited about the future and to me it is just a number. But it is really weird, I remember when people who were thirty seemed old. It really isn't.

I knew I could get you all to turn to blogging, slowly but surely! Happy Birthday by the way. Man I feel like an awful sister, but we have been having a really bad month. Hope it was great! I still can't believe how fast she is growing. I still remember your wedding and it doesn't seem like that long ago. Well give her a hug and kiss for me. Love you
