Young Woman

My baby girl turned 12 this weekend. I have to include some older pictures as well. Here she is in Mobile, Alabama, when she was 3 sitting on her "Thinking Chair" like Steve from Blues Clues. I am sure she had some really astounding thoughts this day.
Here she is her first day of Kindergarten in Ocean Springs, MS.
Here she is in Pensacola, FL with her baby sister. I think she was 3 or 4.
Here she is on her 5th birthday. This ballet dress was her present from Grandma Weir.
Here she is as a 6 month old boy, oh wait, I mean this is Jared but he looks exactly like her!
On Friday night we had a wonderful Piano Recital with all the piano playing cousins participating. It was a night of wonderful music so we decided to include Happy Birthday to Rebecca as one of the songs. It was so fun to hear such a rousing chorus of happy singers.
On her birthday I actually made her help a little with laundry. How can I be so cruel? It isn't so bad because her brothers and sister did her jobs for her while she sat on the couch and picked songs for her birthday CD.
10 fingers and 2 toes this year! Next year I don't know what we'll do.
Here she is ready for her first official day as a Young Woman. She recited the 4th article of faith at the beginning of Sacrament Meeting and came home with tons of hand outs and presents from her first day with the Young Women. She loved it and I know they love her.
