Victoria Shirley is 15 today!
hard to believe 15 years have passed
she was my first back to the hospital birth
after five home births
and........it was one of the most peaceful births

this is her favorite hat!
on a trip to the grocery store
she was stopped by 5 people
who commented on it

our neighbor's cat was in the yard
Tori obliged in picking him up
even though she is not a "cat person"
