Anna's Birthday

Anna turned 14 on Wednesday. I've forgotten how amazed I was when I first saw her. I finally had a girl! Black hair & chubby cheeks. The cheeks got chubbier & the hair got lighter...a lot lighter & curly. The sweet baby became a very feisty toddler who considered herself the queen of the world & we were all her royal subjects.
Today that has all changed...mostly.
Anna is now a young lady who is hanging on to the last vestiges of her childhood as her adulthood looms ever larger on the horizon. I'm proud of her.
She is a talker & loves to let you know what is going on in her heart.
She's going to be a great wife & mother one day. Sure love you Anna girl.

Gottcha!

The older they get, the harder they are to surprise! Well, we got one over on Paul Jr. We decided to get him a laptop for his birthday in February. We 'gave' it to him in this video. I hope the volume is loud enough for you to catch the conversation as we were 'filming on the sly'.

Enjoy!
