Kirsten at 6 months. |
Our oldest daughter, Kirsten Ann, turns 20 today. It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years ago today that she was born 4 1/2 weeks early and ready to take on just about anything! It has been a lot of fun to watch her grow up into an beautiful young woman who will soon be getting married. Yikes! How DID that all happen? (She has reminded me more than once that I was her age when I got married and that didn’t turn out so bad.). She and I are more alike than we both care to admit at times and sometimes that means a little head-butting, but that’s alright, we still love each other a lot. It amazes me at times how confident and grounded she is at a mere 20 years old! Her empathy and acceptance of others is inspiring to me at times. Her fun-loving nature and ability to not take herself too seriously will always be a benefit to her. So, here is to an amazing year Kirsten. Happy Birthday! We love you and can’t wait to see what happens for you next!
A few pictures from the past few months…
It is too bad that it seems like these two don’t have any fun together….
the part where I said she doesn’t take herself too seriously….here she is showing that side as a Camp Counselor, she would be the nerd in the middle! I can see why her cabin girls love her!
Always surrounded by friends having fun, childhood friends….
and college friends, never a lack of laughter…
Makes you almost wish you were 20 again doesn’t it???
