On this day 9 years ago, our firstborn Lauren came into our lives. We lived in a 2 bedroom little white house in Sioux Falls SD. Will was a 4th year medical Student and I was a RN in the NICU working night shifts. We celebrate her birthday today and we are so proud of the young lady she is becoming.
