23 Years Ago Today!


Erin was born to us 23 years ago today in New Orleans. We were in the middle of a heat wave and it was 102 or so that day. Back in the day, we didn't find out the sex of the baby so we were totally surprised and excited when the doc said "How 'bout a girl?" I already had a boy so I figured I'd have another, especially when this baby was so strong and big and kicked me so hard that she tore the cartilage in my ribcage. Ha! But we had a beautiful red-haired, blue-eyed almost 9 lb. baby girl. Later that year her hair turned blonde and her eyes brown and she has grown now into a beautiful woman/wife/mom who loves Jesus. I'm thankful every day to the Lord for blessing me with her. Happy Birthday, Erin!
