13 Years

Wow, 13 years today. I was in the St. Marks Hospital having MaCall. Amazing really. On one hand it feels like forever because we have had such a full thirteen years and yet, still yesterday. Most of you know that MaCall is an amazing girl and we are so proud of her. I frequently have other mother's telling me how happy they are that MaCall is friends with their daughters because they know she is making the right choices in life. That makes me so proud.
Of course I am proud of her accomplishments, but more than that, the person she has become and is becoming.
Another mile stone has been met. No theme birthday party this year. She and her Dad decided it would be a beach bonfire at Big Corona. No planning necessary other than rides and some food. I felt so out of it! I'm sorry, but I love theme parties...
Sorry, can't seem to turn this around. Anyhow, here is MaCall opening the gift that I want! Though I want Denise the Menace Red Converse. Just so you know!

I remember changing her diaper in your Salt Lake apartment. I can't believe she's a teenager! She is an amazing girl-I agree.

I'll never forget babysitting you when you were just a few months old and you screamed the entire time. And then hanging out with you last month and you barely said boo! Well how times have a changed. We love you. Happy Birthday.
