A year in photos. A lifetime of becoming uniquely you. 💖
How can it possibly be that our Beckett is turning 12?
Every August 16th brings back a flood of memories, especially that summer day in 2014 when you made your debut, while your big brother Hudson was home with strep throat! And just like that, our family became a little brighter, a little busier, and a whole lot more fun. 😊
Every year, I look forward to creating your birthday collage, a tradition inspired by Sharon Tara. Twelve photos…twelve months…twelve little glimpses of the girl you are becoming. And what a joy it is to look back and see not only how much you've grown, but who you are becoming along the way.
You are independent, smart, determined, and confident. An athlete who knows how to compete, a leader who isn't afraid to step forward, and a young woman who doesn't need to follow the crowd to find her way.
You think for yourself.
You work hard.
You have a curious mind.
You have a big heart.
And you have a wonderful ability to be completely and unapologetically Beckett.
She is…
♦ A dreamer
♦ A doer
♦ A thinker
♦ A leader
♦ A girl who sees possibilities, and isn't afraid to chase them.
Two quotes still make me think of you:
“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning to sail my ship.”
— Louisa May Alcott
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
— Dr. Seuss
Beckett, as you begin your twelfth year, never lose that independent spirit, that determination, that curiosity, or that beautiful confidence in being yourself.
Keep leading. Keep learning. Keep dreaming. Keep being you.
Celebrate BIG today, sweet girl! 🎉🎂💖
You are one of the brightest lights in our lives, and Nana, and your heavenly Paw Paw, love you more than words could ever say. ❤️❤️
Happy 12th Birthday, Beckett!
Here’s to the next chapter of becoming uniquely YOU. ✨
