Kaylyn is 10!

Kaylyn's 10th birthday is today! I am amazed at the young lady she's becoming and our love for her grows every day.

10 Years ago this morning we received the call that our baby girl had been born. Adam left work and I loaded up the car and we were off. We arrived the next evening in Salt Lake City to pick her up at the hospital. Before we saw her, the nurses and social worker were quick to tell us she was beautiful, and that she was born beautiful - none of the normal newborn not so pretty-ness. That night we arrived at our friends' home and got our first family picture with the new addition (so this is also Kaylyn's first picture).

Kaylyn and Hannah

I've been browsing pictures today in honor of Kaylyn's birthday and I'm also working on a couple photo books. And I couldn't resist writing this post of Kaylyn with her oldest friend - Hannah. Hannah was born 7 weeks before Kaylyn so her mom and I decided they would be best friends. And that quickly became true. Once they both started Kindergarten, at different schools, it's been harder for them to hang out but they are still good friends.
