Happy Birthday Shannon

Today is Shannon's birthday! And this gives me pause to reflect on everything that has been amazing so far in my daughters life. While browsing thru photos there were many opportunities to choose images that show so many milestones along the way.

I eventually decided on this one picture to mark this day. It is one of my all time favorite shots of Shannon. Interestingly in this picture she is the same age that Jenna is now. This was taken on the beach in Aptos by Mike on during our original family beach house vacation in 1980.

Happy Birthday Shannon!
