beth through the years 
Back in November, my daughter Beth turned 15. Here are some photos of her from 1993 to 2008. Click on each thumbnail to see a larger version.


This one on the left is the day she was born: November 19, 1993; 
Beth loved that little bouncy seat in the other two photos; she usually slept in it and not her crib


Beth was a lot smaller, and I was a lot skinnier back then;
Beth's baptism, with her godparents Liz (Joni's big sister) and Lee Brewster


When she was a baby, I described Beth as "Short, really cute, not much hair"


These are some of my favorite photos. She named the stuffed animal in the middle photo, "Amy Armadillo"

In February 1999, Beth became a big sister
