Happy 17th Birthday Tory

Wow, where has the time gone??? My oldest child is now seventeen...sniff, sniff. She is growing into such a beautiful young lady that loves the Lord and her family. Her major goal this year is to finish school a year early...I personally am not ready to have a child of mine graduate yet so we'll see ;o). We love you very much Tory, and feel very blessed to have your love and friendship.This is one of my favorite first family pics.
YES...she was a fat baby...9 lbs. 6 oz. and only 19 in long!!!

Every time I see this pic it totally cracks me up...
I really think this is the first time Jeff ever held a baby ;o).
Jeff is Shannon's oldest friend...
meaning they have known each other a really long time...hahaha

Shannon and Tory...
this is her first Easter.


Tory's first birthday.
Notice the twins' carriers in the bottom right corner...
Yes, there isn't even a year between our first three children ;o).




Christmas time...
I love the way she would always smile ;o).

It totally cracks me up too! I look about 16 in that picture and I do believe it was the first time I'd ever held a baby.

I can't believe Tory is 17...happy birthday Tory!!
