Happy Birthday Melissa!

A birthday candle in your waffles, strawberries and whipped cream.  What a way to start your 12th birthday!  To make the day even better – Melissa got to go to Silverwood as the reward for earning the Zenith.  It didn’t even rain like the weatherman predicted.  A great day!DSC_2329DSC_2325 DSC_2326  Happy Birthday Melissa!  Somehow my baby is turning 12 years old.  Not possible.  Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was waiting and waiting for this little late baby to come. (You were due the end of May so when June came it felt like torture to still be pregnant.)  I woke up with a very strong contraction and the next one came fast and furious.  I woke up Dad and he drove  80 mph on the freeway, running red lights in town and got me to the hospital.  I couldn’t even walk.  He was running with the wheel chair.  You were born 45 minutes later.  I remember wanting to get there in time to have an epidural but alas – it was not to be.  I must say that you were my easiest baby to bounce back from.  Very fast and no drugs.  And what a blessing it was to bounce fast because I came home to my other baby – Megan was barely 14 months old and not walking yet.  We were a very busy family!
