ALMOST 12


One week from tomorrow she will be 12.
Where has the time gone? I can't believe my baby is going to be 12. It seems just like yesterday that she was born....
And now here she is, tall, beautiful, smart, everything I had dreamed she would be... WOW!!!

Here she is at 4 months old in her Daddy's arms, still her favorite place to be.


Here she is at 1 year, already so full of spunk and personality.


Wow , how much our family has changed in 11 years.

This envelope was given to us on the day we dedicated out little girl to the Lord, with instructions to have her open it on her 12th birthday. It seemed so far away until she would have to open it, now it is around the corner...i wonder what it says???

Okay, I'm full of tears. This is a precious tribute to your daughter. And the envelope! That is so WONDERFUL! God bless you three--you have done a wonderful job with PJ, and God will continue to bless you, I KNOW it!

Wow, Charif, that was beautiful. Is it the weirdest thing ever to have "old" pictures of you guys?! I can't imagine...but I know for sure there will be a time when I look back at our life starting out together and think about how we are just so different now then we were then.

Old pictures are really weird to me too. We still feel like were this new young couple, but we've been married for almost 13 years. That is a long time.

I can't believe how the time has gone by since my first niece was born. She was such a fun little girl, and she is a fun pre-teen. Your tribute is beautiful. can't wait to hear what's in the envelope.

Look how beautiful Penny is - I think she may turn out even prettier than her Mom, and that is pretty hard to do. 12 years is quite a milestone. What a love of all of our lives!!
