I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN

With only a few tears shed, our baby girl has entered the life of womanhood. What a blessing!!! And so it all begins. She is so lucky to have a big sister and a Mom who understands hugs and lots of chocolate.

The West Family said...: She did the tear shedding. With Amanda, we both did. Lauren just looked at it automatically as a death sentence. It was unreal!!!; June 1, 2009 at 2:43 PM
