you would wake me up giggling in your sleep,
and....
you would spend hours sitting quietly in your high chair playing or coloring
so that your mom could study for nursing school.
But....
sometimes microbiology was just too exciting.
It seems like just yesterday....
I worried about your fashion sense
And....
we thought we would never grow those bangs out.
we cheered when you lost a tooth.
And....
when you graduated from kindergarten.
It seems like just yesterday.....
you and Ben King duked it out over spelling bees and math competitions,
and......
you showed your competitive spirit in every area of your life.
It seems like just yesterday....
we marveled at how you seemed to change into a beautiful woman over night.
And...
amazingly more beautiful on the inside.
Today.....
We continue to look forward to watching you take on the world
and watching you try new and fun things
and we look forward....
to seeing how God will use you and your gifts to serve Him.
We love you Nae! Happy Birthday!

Omigosh Tori,
I am sitting here bawling my eyes out... What a lovely tribute to your amazing Nae Nae. Can you believe how the time has flown? That's it, I am going to call my first born right now and blubber in his ear. Of course, since it's not HIS birthday, he will think I should consider getting on anti-D's, but it will be worth it to hear his voice this morning! Thanks for this beautiful entry!
