I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it a million more times before my time is done…it is hard for me to think of my Lexer as anything other than my pig-tailed, sweet, first niece.

And then she goes and turns 13 today.

I’m still mystified, how does this happen?

We love you, Lexer and wish you the best day (and whole year!) ever. Sending you love, hugs and kisses.

(And to Meesh and DJ – Good luck with your first foray into the teenage world…hopefully you can pave a nice smooth road for the rest of us!)

Happy Birthday, Roo!

Love,
Aunt Bean, Uncle Jamie, Emma Grace & Addie Rose

I’m also saying special thanks today on the 10th anniversary of September 11th. I am so grateful to be here to watch my girls and all my nieces and nephews grow like little weeds. And I am thankful to all of those who continue to fight and those that have lost their lives fighting to keep my family free and safe. We won’t forget.
