Sixteen Years





I don't know how it happened, but my baby girl is sweet sixteen today.

I tease her that she really, really, rrrriiillllly hurt. But then I remind her that she is so worth it.

This girl of mine... she is independent, tough, sweet, silly, stubborn, loving, cute, gorgeous, crazy and mostly just wholly indescribable.



I'm so happy that she is a part of my family. I'm so lucky to get to watch her change from a baby, to a girl who would only wear clothes from the boy's section (FOR THREE YEARS!) to this girly-girl, athlete, totally great person.



I'm so proud of her and so in love with her. I hope she feels it. I think she does.



Thank you, God, for the blessing of my daughter.

People told me I would be sorry that I had a daughter when she became a teenager. They were SO wrong. Sounds like you have a good thing going on with your teenage girl. Good Daughters Rock!

Happy Birthday to both of you.
