Happy Birthday Kayla!


Happy SWEET (hopefully) #16 Birthday to my niece Kayla! I’ve been thinking about Kayla a lot lately probably because besides my own daughter, I have the most pictures of her as a child. I was looking at them the other day, trying to decide if I should make a movie for her too, and just remembering how Kayla’s birth made me want to be a mother so desperately. She was so entertaining for several years because she was the only grandchild on the Anderson side until her brother was born. She would dance on command and had her favorite song to perform to (KLF I believe).







I had the opportunity when I was just 13 years old to babysit Kayla for a few weeks while Marci’s babysitter was on vacation. I had to take care of all of her needs for most of the day and although I think we already had a bond before that, there’s no way that anyone could replace my little Kayla. It’s been so fun (and also kind of sad) to see her grow up so quickly. Just 8 years ago I lived with them before my move to Arizona (wow, that was half of her lifetime ago AAAHHHHH), and then all of the sudden she’s a grown little lady, ready to date! Slow down sister! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
