HAPPY 17 JAC!

It's hard to believe it's been 17 years since I first held Jacqueline in my arms...after 19 hours of labor, biting Matt's head during the pain, and finally giving in to Matt and my Mom's BEGGING for me to get an epideral...hey I was tough for 11 hours :)...she came and it was
WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF PAIN!

Here are 17 pictures of her 17th year...oh the memories:

Even though Jac had to go back to school on her BIRTHDAY...she started it with Honey Bunches of oats WITH greek yogurt...a daily staple :) (at least the greek yogurt part)

We enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating Jac's life with some of her favorites:
 Sweet Potato Curry and Key Lime Pie...AND watching the Amazing Spider Man...what a life :)
 
We are so lucky to have you Jacqueline! Thank you for being the AMAZING PERSON you are!
It's going to be a fantastic year....or as Emily says, "I am so excited because next year you'll 18 and then you can get married and I will be an aunt when I am 12."....NOT SO FAST GIRLY! Sorry Grandma, maybe this is what you did but Jac will NOT be following in your footsteps on this one; at least we hope not :)

ENJOY BEING 17!

You and Matt were truly sent an
angel. Jac is beautiful inside and
out, So fun to watch her growth.No
she will not be getting married at
18. How we love that girl, even
though she is not a girl any more
she is a young woman. She radiates
everything that a young woman should stand for. its going to be
hard to find someone we approve of when it is time for her to get
married. Jac is the Best!!!!!!
Love
Grandma and Grandpa
