Happy Birthday Shelby!


Shelby turned 9 years old today. Brian and I took our girl out on a date to celebrate and we watched the clock for the exact minute she was born, nine years ago. She was such a beautiful baby and her beauty has increased, moment by moment. She is sweet and tenderhearted. She nurtures and she gives. She is so dedicated and practices her dream of becoming a teacher everyday in her little classroom under the stairs. She spent her birthday allowance at Lakeshore Learning, a teaching supply store and couldn't wait to set up "class" for her brothers. She always shares what she has to help make others feel happy. She exudes femininity and charm and it is a priviledge to call her daughter. We love you, Shelby!
