Today is a very special day.
Not just because it's Monday and time for another installment of Monday Night Live (see post below) - but because 11 years ago today, my wife and I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Roseanna. Ok, technically she had more to do with the "birth" part of it but still - I was there and had to stay up late and and and... it was kind of hard for me too.
So in honor of my beautiful baby tween, here are a few pictures we've taken over the last year or two.
At First Communion. A very rare picture because it's one of only a handful of times anyone has ever seen Rosie in a dress.
On a hike. A much more representative shot of how you'll see my nature girl on a daily basis.
Cliff diving at the local swimming hole. Definitely not a wimp. Rosie likes to try everything.
Watcha gonna do. Dressed in blue for Halloween.
As a BFF. Actually, Rosie is everybody's friend - that's just the way she rolls.
I love you.

Just stay as nice as you are, and the world will be a better place. You are very fortunate to have such wonderful parents for guidance and love. Oh yes, happy birthday!!!

How fun is it to get to read such a nice note from Dad and such sweet comments from family!
That beats a Hallmark card anyday.
