Happy 16th Birthday to my oldest, Carlie Erin. She was born about 5 1/2 weeks early and weighed only 4lbs. 12 oz. and was a mere 18 inches long. We had no idea what we were in for. She never slept, which meant that we didn't either. There are so many days I wish I could do-over, knowing and understanding what I do now. She has always been very smart and very determined, but is shy as well.
The saying that "the days are long but the years are short" is so true. Some of those long days and nights of crying and ear infections seemed never ending, but look at us now. Sixteen years of watching her grow up.....I honestly cannot believe it is here and the fact that she will be going to college in a couple of years makes me want to savor every minute.
I love you to the moon and back sweet girl!
