Today's post is all about our Becca. Our sweet little Becca, who turns 15 today!!!
Becca came into our lives when life was a little difficult -- Jim had taken a new job in New Bremen -- I stayed back in Columbus to sell our home. We had two little girls (Sarah and Emily were 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 at the time) and Becca was on her way! I talked our doctor into inducing my labor on a Saturday to insure that Jim would be around. My parents came in the morning to watch the girls while we went to the hospital -- we ended up having a showing that day (hoping to sell our house!) -- so we went to McDonald's for lunch. I don't think I ate much that day -- I forget what time I had to be at the hospital, but knew I shouldn't eat much!
Becca was born at 7:59 pm on Saturday, September 7, 1996. She wasn't small :) but she sure was cute! I remember my mom and dad brought the other girls up to the hospital before bedtime because they couldn't wait to meet their new little sister!
It would take a few more months (3 to be exact) until we were reunited in New Bremen again -- let me just say I grew to love Fridays at 6:30, because I would be watching for Jim to drive down the street! I would hug and kiss him and run out the door for a little "me" time. We had fabulous neighbors who really helped a lot, but somehow it is never the same as family.
Dear little Becca, I hope this is your best birthday yet. We love you so much! <3
