Mommy's first baby girl...















Erika Lindsay was my first baby girl. She came into the world very vocal and strong-willed. This has thus since become one of her greatest character traits. Erika is loving and kind but she is strong and independent. Because of many changes in our family through the years, Erika became my friend, my buddy, my helper, and at many times--the other parent in our household. She accepted responsibility early on and helped me more than she will ever realize. I know Erika was a special blessing sent to me as my angel and she always will be. I love her and I am so proud of her and all the accomplishments and successes she has achieved! Oh the hats she's worn at such an early age -- Ethan's best buddy, Addi's big sister, carpool coordinator, basketball star, soccer captain, newspaper editor, Young Women's class president, seminary student, honor roll student, housekeeper, meal planner/chef, movie attender (this was your favorite!), purse and shoe shopper (your FAVORITE addiction!), candy striper/volunteer @ Baptist, babysitter, ...and the list goes on. Wow, all this while remaining Mom's right arm! You are one incredible young woman, Erika Lindsay. Now you're married and putting all those practices into place as you begin a new journey with Jack and you are doing a fantastic job! I love you--you will always be Mommy's first baby girl!
