How Did It Happen So Fast?
Eleven years ago, at 12:10pm (Eastern Time), on her due date, Teagan Faye Smelker made her appearance into the world. The smallest of all my babies, she weighed in at a tiny 7lbs, and was 21 inches long. Personally I think 2 of those inches was her hair - the girl was born with a shock of black, mohawk-like hair.
Today Teagan happily went off to school - to her final year in elementary school. As I woke her up this morning I reflected that it really does seem like yesterday that I called her Dad at work and told him to come home because it was time. I can clearly picture the moment she 'captured his heart.' The nurses gave Teagan to Terry first, and as she lay quietly in his arms, he tentatively touched her with one finger. She reached out with one hand, grasped his finger firmly and opened her impossibly blue eyes and stared right into his. She has had his heart ever since.
Teagan is our ray of sunshine - bubbly, happy-go-lucky and outgoing. Her smile is contagious, and her big eyes see the world through the wonder of an almost teenager.
We love you Teagan - you have brought your own unique personality and spirit into the Smelker family.
