Today is my first born's 22nd birthday.
First, just let me say, I'm not old enough to have a 22 year old daughter. Okay, now that that is out of the way...
Eden, your arrival into this world is the single most impactful event of my life. I loved you long before I held you in my arms. You made me a mom, and being a mom is the most important job I will ever have.
A few days old~ You were perfect...
Funny face ~ one of many over the years...
Such a happy girl...
A tender moment...
Your first Minnesota Twins game at the Metrodome...
An exhibitionist at a young age...
Pondering how becoming a 'big sister' will change your life...
Always a fish in the water...
Ever the ponderer...
First grandchild ~ successfully spoiled by her grandparents...
Always creative...an awesome snow fort built with dad...
Smile for the camera! Cheese! Grandma taught you well!
Always full of expression...
One of the many first days of school...
The best big sister ever ~ antagonist and fierce protector...
Ever the adventurer....
A past birthday, tickets to NSYNC!
Never afraid to be her own person...
My first born ~ but forever my baby. You taught me what's important in life. You taught me that love is unconditional and never ending. You've made me a better person. I love you Eden.
Happy Birthday Toots!
