How did my baby sister get to be 19 years old already? Seems not possible...but yet we celebrated Laura's 19th birthday on December 11th. I remember the day of her birth so well...my mom was induced so we all were up early and headed to the hospital at something like 6:00am. Grandma Kolvig was with Joey and I in the waiting room and Auntie Louise came as well. We waited all morning and no news...Grandma's tooth was bothering her so she decided she had time to quickly run over to the dentist. Of course when she left, the doctor came out of the room and told us "well, I was wrong!" He had been predicting a boy. Laura Jean was born at 11:27am that Tuesday morning in December! Joey, Louise and I got to go in and see Mom, Dad and baby Laura...I remember thinking how funny she looked all covered in white goop (because she was induced early), she hadn't been cleaned off yet. My Dad was in shock for the next few days, saying "I can't believe it's a girl!" Joey and I were in shock without my mom around for a few days...but we all survived and I couldn't imagine our lives without our little button, Laura.
This year we all went out for dinner at Old Chicago, Caleb surprised us all by ordering right from the waitress a pizza with pepperoni and black olives. She couldn't believe a 3 year old would request such a pizza but he loves it. We had ice cream cake afterwards and "Dua" opened her gifts...Caleb has always loved birthdays so of course he was all excited to help with presents and the cake.
