Teens!

Today we officially start the teen years at the Byers household! Annie turns 13! When I look back at the day she was born it was such a time of excitement! She came 4 weeks early and weighed in at a healthy 6 pounds 8 ounces! She had a Marge Simpson head, all long and pointy, and it scared my mom to death! The entire day was busy with family and friends but the most special part of the day was after everyone left, it was me, Darrell and our new baby girl. He was sitting in the chair in the corner of my hospital room when he looked up at me after studying her for a bit and said "Isn't she's the coolest thing ever!" I replied yes she is and it hit me that we were truly a family! I am so proud of my beautiful Annie! She is kind and thoughtful, people gravitate towards her because she has such a wonderful spirit and she's fun to be around! She knows who she is and doesn't let others influence her negatively! She is growing into a beautiful young lady and I'm excited to see what the future holds for her! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE! I love you!!
