• Happy Birthday Scooby-Doo!

  She’s 23 years old today; my second born First Girlie Girl. Even though she’s second born she really has more of a First Born personality. But no matter….. I love her to death. The first time I found out about her was just after her father and I got back from Destin, Fla. We were on “vacation” with the other doctors and their wives. I was not feeling so hot and Jeff suggested I send a urine sample in to work with him that morning. We were kind of expecting the possibility of another member of the family. I’d spent the past several months trying to convince him that we should have another one. I think Deborah broke the dam in that regard because he never did protest more children after that. Anyway, I found out about her the evening of the aforementioned sent urine sample. Jeff came home with a big bouquet of Wild Flowers (my favorite) with a card that read: Congratulations on the new baby (soon to be here)! love, LSK I still have that card and I still remember the look on Jeff’s face as he came through the kitchen door. My girls know the look. It’s the look he gets when he’s around his family (especially when he’s around his treasured girlie girls)

  These pictures were taken at the end of October. They’re the most recent pictures I could find of Deb. We were at an event hosted by the University. In case you’re wondering, I’m dressed as Lily Munster. This is not some Twilight obsession or a bizarre fashion statement. It was my costume.  :P

  

  My 3 Best Friends in the whole world! I think Deborah Beth is the only daughter I’ve named. It’s my oldest sister’s name; one I’ve always liked. Of course, I thought she was going to be a Benjamin. We waited until #12 to use that name.

  

  Characteristics that describe my Deb:

   

  Responsible, Funny, Melancholy, Affectionate (beyond belief), Faithful, Loyal, DETERMINED; Strong (she beats most guys at arm wrestling) *Sorry Scooby had to say it*; Gentle; Smart (99th percentile in her SAT verbals/writing score) *Sorry Scoo had to brag* And she’s an authentic blonde in every sense which we all love teasing her about.

   

  She’s a language major and loving every minute of her time at university. This skit she did for extra credit in Arabic class shows a little of her personality. This is the Scoo we know at home.

  Sorry about the layout of this entry. I don’t know if the weather here is interfering with our satellite tranmission or if Xanga is having a bad day. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Scoo! You’re my Girl!
