She's 18

This day has hit us like a ton of bricks. We've already had 2 children reach this milestone, but for this day, and this child, it is surreal. Even though we have 2 children who are younger, Kaylin has held the position of our youngest, and the baby of the family for 16 years. So, to realize that she is 18 and well on her way to independence, well, it's just a big deal for us. I wanted to scan a ton of photos but I will content myself with just a brief walk down memory lane.

We love you hon and are so humbled by the beauty you bring to our family. Not just your physical beauty but the grace and love and kindness that flows out of your heart. Happy Birthday.
