Happy 14th Birthday, Guard Girl!

Today is Guard Girl's birthday. She is 14 years old today. I can't believe it. I remember the day of her birth like it was yesterday, almost. Some of the details are fuzzy, but the important stuff is there. Bubba-ump and I were young and probably just a little scared. I had just turned 20 and he was 19. But we plunged head first into parenthood. We haven't done a bad job so far. Perhaps you should ask Guard Girl that question, though. Anyway, on February 25, 1991 at 9:58pm, Guard Girl was born via c-section. She weighed in at 8lbs 8.5 oz and was 21 inches long. (I think) She was a great baby. A wonderful sleeper and just a happy baby in general. She was the first grandchild for my parents so for the first 2 years of her life, before any cousins came along, she was IT. Spoiled rotten. She was, and still is very smart. She has turned into quite a young woman who is funny, loving, caring, and beautiful. (even though she always says she is the mean one amongst her friends.) We couldn't be more proud! Happy Birthday, Brianna! (By the way, guess who shares her birthday today? It's quite an eclectic group. Justin from the now defunct group 98 degrees, Sean Astin of LOTR fame, George Harrison the Beatle, Sally Jessy Raphael she of red glasses and trash tv, Jim Backus aka Thurston J Howell, III from Gilligan's Island, and Renoir he was some famous painter guy. :))

Here is Guard Girl way back in 1991. She was about 6 or 7 months old. Time flies! Scroll down a bit to see her as she was just a week or so ago on Valentine's Day.
