Remembering

So in the busy month of December a very special girl

in our family turned 14.

Where has the time gone.

Mark and I sometimes laugh at this, we are parents to a teenager, well actually for over a year now.

I am going to pause and let that sink in.

Nope still can't believe it!

Well in any case believing it or not, it is a reality and we are loving it.

Kerrington is a sweetheart.

We have been blessed by God with her.

Remembering back to two days after she was born,

I was released from the hospital and she was not,

Mark and I were driving home and we were so overwhelmed

by how much we loved our little girl.

It just came on so naturally.

She had turned us into parents.

At 20 and 22 years old we in some ways were babies ourselves, but we rose to the awesome responsibility

of taking care of another human being and we haven't looked back since.

We have so loved being her parents.

Kerrington is a beautiful girl with a tender heart.

She is always looking for ways to help or bless anyone she comes in contact with.

She is very loyal and very dependable.

She loves to make lists.

She is very crafty, the stuff she creates is so wonderful.

She is quite organized.

She is fourteen, but she is still my little girl.

Even though her face looks fourteen, there are some days when she makes a certain expression and I am transported back to when she is only two and a half.

It all goes by so fast.

So Happy 14th Birthday, Honey.

Thanks for being patient with us as we grow right along with you.

We love you more than you'll ever know.

Until next time,   mom
