10 Years Ago today....



I was holding the most beautiful human in the world! I was in such awe and amazement. Lonnie and I were on top of the world! It was also the day that "made" me a Mother and Lonnie a Father, together a FAMILY!


Born on her Father's 25th birthday, Raegan Ivey was born, not with out a little hitch, at 1:35 AM December 31, 1999 weighing a light 7lbs 2 oz, 20 inches. No, she wasn't very big but she sure did end the Millennium BIG!!! It was the MOST amazing experience of my life, becoming a Mother, my life changing in and instance! There hasn't been ONE dull moment with her in my life!


I love her so much. She totally gets my humor ( as if this is about me, but..)


She is kind, sweet, funny, ornery, creative, friendly, athletic, artistic, beautiful, helpful.. the list could go on and on! I have so many adjectives that would describe my first born.


As you can see by her baby photos she had black hair when she was born.. it all fell out and came back blond and her eyes never changed. I love it that she is unique in that way to our family.







Our fist picture together...(well the ones that developed)



Here is is about 2 months old.. Her eyes were sooo dark blue!


So much has happened in 10 years.. it has been such excitement watching watching her grow through the years and discovering life living!


I love being her Mother!


Thank you Raegan for being my daughter. I am glad your spirit choose me!


I LOVE YOU!!
