My First Born


Today is my firstborn's birthday.

She was so beautiful when she was born.
(and still so pretty!)

We named her Grace,
after both of her great-grandmothers.
She has filled my life with joy.

Being the eldest child isn't always easy.
She was expected to grow up quickly,
but she stepped into the role with ease.
She loved each new brother and sister
and became a second mother to the younger ones.




Grace was a tease,
from the time she was a toddler -
spinning her brother in his swing
or dousing someone
with water.




Grace has always been a student.
She knew her alphabet at 18 months,
and has continued her education way beyond
high school - just finishing her RN training.



When Matt came into her life, she was so happy.
I'm sure he'll be discovering
the many facets of her personality
for years to come.



Elegant
Adventurous
Witty
Knowledgeable
Tender
Musical
Organized
Personable
Athletic
Sensitive





That's my Grace!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I LOVE YOU!
