Happy Birthday Martha
Tuesday, April 26th, 2016
A whole year ago on April 16th, God gave us our sweet Martha. It’s always hard to believe how quickly twelve months can go by.
Sixteen Years
Monday, January 25th, 2016
For my niece Elle (pronounced Ellie for those of you who wouldn’t know that) on her birthday.
My dear Elisabeth Noel,
Today you are Sixteen! You know it always seems impossible to us oldies that you babies grow up and how quickly that happens.
Sixteen years ago I was a student at the University of Texas working in the basement of the Main Building scanning paperwork for the Graduate Studies Department and waiting. Waiting for the HUGE news that you had been born.
Your dad had given his pager (yes, this was the dark ages) to me so he could let me know as soon as you entered the world.
