Erin Rebekah







Eight years and 9 months ago Dave and I got some very surprising news. We were gonna have another baby. Abby was 3 months old and we were expecting another baby. We were a little overwhelmed and excited at the same time. I saw my doctor on June 19th and he scheduled for me to come to the hospital at 5 am June 20th to be induced to have my baby girl. Dave and I arrived there right on time and the nurses got me all set up and ready. Just like with Abby's birth, everything went great. It was a pretty uneventful morning. Dave actually ordered drill for his marching band show around 10 am. A short time after that I was holding a precious little girl with a head full of brown hair. Abby looked just like Dave ( and still does), so when Erin was born I now had a little girl who looked just like me. She was precious from head to toe. She weighed 9 pounds and 1 ounce. Her personality was evident from the very beginning. She was a bit fussy and cried alot. She was and still is a mommy's girl...although she has warmed up to her daddy lately:) She is a sweet little girl who I call "Little" sometimes. She takes her time to do things....just like Dave. She looks just like I did as a little girl and shares the name Erin with me. I love her sweet smile and infectious laugh. Happy 8th birthday Erin. I love you.
