Happy 11th Birthday Nichol!!!

Its hard to believe that just 11 short years ago David and I became parents for the first time. Its crazy how time flies! Nichol is such a blessing, I can't imagine life without her. She's a huge help around the house, a doting big sister, she has a servants heart, a passion for those in need, the biggest clean freak around, and she makes some mean mac and cheese! ;)

Nichol girlie - we love you so much! We're so proud of you, we're honored to be your parents, and we are excited to see what God has planned for your life. It is our prayer that you grow in your understanding of our loving Saviour, that you seek Him with your whole heart, and that you strive to be more and more like Christ each and every day.

And now.....we go back to the day you were born sweet girl. You were so so tiny. Born at 5lbs. 10oz. - 4.5 weeks early - it was love at first sight. You were the BEST baby ever!

Your first Christmas. No laughing people. Yep, we were babies.

Nine mo. old.

And then your little life was turned upside down when your baby brother was born. A big sister at 14 mo.

You were so in love with your new baby brother - such a little mama!

Getting a trim at four.

Your first kitty, you named her Jasmine, only to find out she was a he!

And posing with the 5 mo. baby belly! You were SO excited to be a big sister again. You sang songs to my tummy and loved feeling the baby move.

And having a sister was a dream come true in your world!

Your first trip to Disneyland in 2004!

And as party of three.

Good Friends!

Our crazy little family wouldn't be the same without you.

We love you Nichol! Happy Birthday!
