Katelyn~ 13!


Everyone says that the years go faster once you have children, but no one can prepare you for how it feels to watch your babies grow and turn into young adults in 'the blink of an eye'.









Today is Katelyn's 13th Birthday! Hard to believe!  My K-Kate, was born in a small East Texas town on a chilly, fall morning.  She was tiny, 5 lbs., 1.5 oz.! She was so tiny that Greg and I were afraid to take her home, but we did and together we learned how to care for a newborn.
She was my first, she made me a mom, so she will forever hold a special place in my heart.
While it hurts to think about the few years I have left with her at home, it fills me with JOY to see her blossom into a godly, young women!  She is kind, friendly, compassionate, sincere, full of life, creative, smart, funny, and so many things...but the thing I love most about her, is her love for Jesus! Happy Birthday to my beautiful (inside & out girl)!
