Happy 18th Birthday, Kelli!!

 Eighteen years ago today at 9:43pm I welcomed my second child, Kelli Ann, into the world.  She didn't come easily, but after 36 hours of labor, she was here weighing in at 9 pounds 3 ounces, 21 inches long. It was a beautiful February day and my Mom was in town to watch Kaila when we went to the hospital.  

Kelli had some issues with being jaundice, so she did not get to come home from the hospital when I did, but she wasn't in the hospital too long after that. 

 For those who know Kelli, she is avid reader and lover of books.  Kaila got her an Ernest Hemingway book and a book about dreams.

Eddie got her a unicorn pillow pal!









For her birthday dinner, she ordered Aunt Pegs "circle sandwich", tater tots and yellow cake with chocolate icing with purple letters.

It is hard to believe that my Kelli Belli is 18!  Love you!!
