HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITY!

8 years old - (that doesn't even seem possible!)
8 years ago our lives changed forever! After a day and an all nighter of me and doctors telling her it was time to arrive, and she very adamantly disagreeing Kaitlyn Maryssa Thompson made her debut at 7:09 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 10 1/2 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. Not to bad for not being due until October 19th! My dad said it was quite the site watching Rick walk down the hall holding her to introduce her to the waiting Grandparents. I remember seeing her for like 20 seconds and then I think I fell asleep while they finished up all they do after a c-section. It was the longest few days I can ever remember and I was exhausted!

Kaitlyn shares a birthday with our friends’ daughter Kayla. Since she was born on a Friday many of our friends and family had been at Kayla's birthday party and when they were done there they moved the party to the hospital to celebrate Kaity's arrival. They brought the cake and all.

Kaitlyn is such a special girl. While her stubbornness has not let up (not even the slightest bit!), she is such a loving, caring and sweet girl. She is a perfectionist in everything she does (except keeping her room clean). She loves school, she loves her friends and teachers and she has such a faith in the Lord. She may not always like her brother but she does love him and it such a mother hen to him. We are so lucky to call her our daughter and are so blessed to have her.

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn. We love you so much!!!

Proud Daddy and Mommy!
