Happy Birthday Sweet Rebecca!!

Our sweet Rebecca turns 9 today! How time flies when your raising four children!! It seems like yesterday that I was heading to St. Vincents in Birmingham, AL to have her. It was a cold weekend and I was coming down with the flu. She was a 9 lb baby! When we left the hospital I think the wind was almost at hurricane strength. We were on the parking deck in the wheel chair waiting for Walt to drive around in the car. The nurse was helping us load the car with the flowers and balloons and the wind was whipping the balloons everywhere. My hair was almost wrapped around my head and I could not see to get in the car. Rebecca was so bundled up all you could see where her tiny little eyes and nose.


Rebecca has turned into such a young lady. She has such an old soul about her. She is in the gifted program at school and loves to read. Her favorite shows are on the Food Network and if you ask her she is going to culinary school and she wants to be a chef and make beautiful cakes. She loves to watch Duff make all his wild cakes.


Rebecca has her own style and loves to put T-shirts and skirts together with her brown converse sneakers. I love how she is so original and does not care what people think. She recently went with her dad to one of his weekly meetings. The auditorium was packed and the overflow was in the cafeteria watching on close circuit TV. The CEO was talking and he saw Rebecca on the front row. He came over to her and she stood and he talked to her and asked her all kinds of questions. Someone handed her a microphone and she talked for awhile with him. Walt could not believe how mature she was and how easily she talked to the CEO( Of one of the largest companies in the world). Later she told her Dad that he (CEO) was just like any other person she would talk to. We hope that she always keeps this outlook on life.


So Becca Boo Happy Birthday!! We love you and are so glad that you are in our family!!
