Squire's Magnificent 7: My baby Girl is 11...

My Meg is turning 11 February 8th. She has been such a wonderful blessing in my life, I'm so thankful she picked our family to come to. When Lynn and I found out we were expecting a girl it was hard to believe. Our family had been boy centered for five years. Could it really be a girl, could our wish really come true? I was afraid and just knew she was a boy. I didn't buy any girl things but 1 pair of shoes, I just didn't want to jinks it, I'm glad I was wrong. We went into the hospital around 7:30 in the morning of February 8th. Lynn and I couldn't wait for her arrival. Lucky me my labors are only about 4 hours and so at 11:06 am Meg was born. She weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. Kind of small for me, and considering I had her natural because of a mix up and the doctor thought I wanted to feel the birth it is one day I will always remember. She was round already and we called her peach because when she cried her face would turn red and with her white hair fuzz she looked like a peach. She has been such a great blessing in our home, with her always willing to take such good care of her little brother Jake. I have never had to worry about him at school, or outside playing when Meg is around. She is always willing to step up and help where ever it is needed. She is not afraid to keep her dad and mom on top of family scriptures reading, family prayer, and family home evening. Really she has kept our family on the strait and narrow path. I'm so grateful for such a beautiful spirit in our home. Don't get me wrong she is a very strong personality and I feel for anyone that crosses her. She can hold her own, I think living in a house with 4 brothers she has learned a lot about that. She can really be a spit fire when she wants to be, but is a girly, girl as well. Almost to the point I'm thankful the Lord has sent me just one girl, I don't know if I could have handled more. I just want to wish her Happy Birthday, and thank her for picking me to be her mom how blessed am I. Here is to many, many more great birthday's....

Here are some pic's of Meg this past year...
