Here she is at 1-years-old.
2-years-old and one of my favorite pictures. Rebecca and John were the best of friends. Rebecca never had any sibling jealousy when he was born. 
3-years-old and a new sister to play with!

At the end of her third year she decided to chop her hair off. :( 
Shortly after that she got sick with a rare childhood autoimmune disease (Henoch-Schonlein Purpura) that put her in the hospital for 3 weeks and lasted about 8 weeks. Very scary time for us, but she was a trooper and got to come home from the hospital in time for her 4th birthday!
5-years-old in February means....
Kindergarten fun is here in September!
She attended Kindergarten in Illinois for about a month before we moved to Phoenix, Arizona.

This was after Jacob was born, when we lived in Peoria. She LOVES babies and keeps telling me I need more. I tell her she can have as many as she wants when she is married.
Here she is at 10-years-old with a solar oven she made for a school project.
Rebecca is almost 11-years-old and can't wait until she can start babysitting. She is a very responsible, social, and loving girl and we really feel blessed to have her in our family.
What a fun picture entry for Rebecca. She is a definite sweet and beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteThis post almost brought tears to my eyes...I just can't believe how fast our children are growing. I remember that day when you took the pic with Madeline, Courtney and Sierra like it was yesterday!! They look so little! Rebecca is growing up to be a beautiful young lady...I just shake my head when I think of her turning 11 though!! How long have I know you for??!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jordan - I think so too.
ReplyDeleteCallie, I'll have to work harder on bringing those tears! :) ha ha. they certainly ARE growing fast!Rebecca was 5 when we moved here, so we've known each other for a little over 5 years I'd say.
I'm right there with you Callie. It brought tears to my eyes thinking of the good friends these girls were and how they will probably forget easier than we will the awesome friendship that was started between our families, the kids, and especially us 5 years ago. Our girls are growing up to be beautiful young ladies. Oh man I miss you!
ReplyDeleteI miss you both more!:P
