Happy Birthday, Roxy!



Yesterday was Roxy's birthday. She is now a double-digit kid! That is so cool and hard to believe at the same time. I was reminiscing about Roxy yesterday and the very first time we met her.


She was only 3 years old at the time. Angel came over to our house with Jake so he could help her with a paper she was writing for school. We were asked to keep an eye on Roxy while they worked on the paper......we were so happy to.....Roxy was such an adorable 3 year old! Dave and I took her outside to jump on the trampoline. Now keep in mind that we didn't really know where Jake and Angel's relationship was or where it was going. Jake always kept us in the dark about his girlfriends. Anyway, while we were out jumping on the trampoline (me and Roxy jumping together holding hands), amid our conversation of many things, Roxy blurts out while looking at us with her big brown eyes, sporting the cutest little Princess Leia buns we had ever seen, "My mom fell in love with your kid.".......it flowed out of her mouth like it was the most natural thing in the world to say. Dave and I just looked at each other and smiled.

It was at that very moment we fell in love with Roxy. She has been a joy and a delight to our family from the very beginning. She is mature, kind, happy, loving, beautiful, fashionable, patient, helpful, compassionate, and so much more.

Happy Birthday, Roxy!

We Love You!
