The Day my Name Changed~

24 years ago on July 4th, 1989, a little baby changed my world and my name... to mama. The photos below are so special to me because I was 24 when Savannah was born and she turned 24 today. SO cool to see us at the same age~

 I had planned to go with Scott to watch him run the Peachtree Road Race but my back was hurting and my neighbor (hey Susan) suggested I stay home. Not long after he left, Susan took me to the hospital... I was in labor. Don't worry... he made it in plenty of time and was there for the whole beautiful thing!!!

I am SO thankful for all the scrapbooks I have kept over the years and to have our home movies on video now. I pretty much spent this rainy day working on the collages and video below... celebrating my beautiful Savannah who is away this week on vacation (again:).

Enjoy the following photos of her on all 24 birthdays of her sweet life~

 Dear Savannah~

There are no words to tell you how much Dad and I love you. You gave us the greatest gift when you were born and continue to bless us every single day of your life. You will never know our love for you until the day you hold your own child in your arms. It is the sweetest experience ever. {I should know... I've done it 8 times!} We hope this next year will be one of the best for you!! And just look at what you started... 8 blessings and our lives are SO full we fall on our knees in gratitude to the ONE that gave it all to us and for us! Bless His Holy Name and to Him be the Glory!!!

Love Mama, Daddy, Amelia, Rosemary, EllaKate, ShayleeJoy, Payne Curtis, Will Perry, and EvieClaire 

Love you to God and back!!! 

PS~ Happy Fourth of July... I got carried away. :)
