Thirteen years ago today, we woke up in our condominium in Boynton Beach, Florida at about 7:30 in the morning.  Lorena let me know that she was ready to have our first baby.  We called the Eversley’s to let them know we would not be in the Sunday morning fellowship meeting and made the forty minute drive over to the hospital at Loxahatchee.  Our only visitors between then and when Kelly arrived were Carlos and Vanessa Bautista our dear friends who now live in the Austin, Texas area.  Lorena went through the delivery naturally (I learned my lesson about that–the wife suffers A LOT through the delivery, then the husband suffers through the rest of his life for not having convinced her to have an epidural!).  Kelly arrived that evening about 8:30.  She had a full head of curly black hair and was absolutely beautiful.  She is just as beautiful today as she turns into a teenager.  One of the things for which we are most grateful about Kelly is her kind and thankful spirit.  Happy Birthday, Kelly!!!
