Happy Birthday, Lindsey!

My baby is 33 years old today!

I'm sitting here in Texas and thought I didn't have access to my photos...
I keep forgetting about this iPhone and photos I have here... I love to write blogs for my kids' birthdays, so was happy to have some pics with me!

Lindsey...in a hat, with her family... That's my girl! 


33 years ago... 

We were living in Weaverville...I had no idea 'Lindsey was Lindsey'... I wanted a daughter so bad...but I wouldn't let myself hope for a girl... I definitely would have been thrilled to have 3 sons... And I definitely didn't want to feel any sort of disappointment when my baby was born.  Inside, I really thought I was having a girl, but wondered if it was just wishful thinking since we had Joshua and Gabrial.  

I remember the moment that my midwife, Candy, said, "You have a daughter!"

I cried...I held her, Ron rubbing her cheek...with tears in his eyes.

The nurses took her for some reason (don't remember why) and Ron collapsed in exhaustion and I took off walking through the hospital to find a phone to call my mom...

And here she is, 33 years later, with 2 wonderful sons of her own...a beautiful family.

I love you, Lindsey Nicole!
Happy birthday!
