My gorgeous "little" niece, Becky (front), is 11 today. 11??? When the heck did that happen? It feels like just yesterday that she was a tiny little bundle that we all rushed to the hospital to go and see for the very first time. 11??? Wow!! Time goes too quickly, as they say...
Before I go on, I have to say that can't take any credit for these photos. I nicked them off family facebook pages (thanks Josette, Justin and Tam) - my hard drive with all my pictures is non-functional at the moment, so I didn't have another option.
Becky as a teeny tot. She's now way taller than me...
A little crazy at times, but that just means she fits right in with the rest of us...
She is very close to her big sister and it's refreshing to see the two of them enjoying each other's company. Sure they irritate each other from time-to-time, but that's what sisters are for...
Becky loves going cray fishing on Grandpa's boat...
She's passionate about her music...
And is gifted on the violin - she recently (not that long ago, right) played in an Eisteddfod and out played all her peers, performing with university students...
She can play the guitar too - her Auntie Tam's very good on the guitar...
Becks is also very gifted in the water. She has this picture up on her bedroom door, with the words "20/20 vision" - her goal is to swim in the Olympics one day. And she can do it. She's driven to out-perform herself and works SO hard to be her very best...
And here's the proof that she really does do fantastically in the water!! More recently, she swam in 10 races, got 5 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze - almost unbelievable...
And so, to Becks: Happy, happy birthday, big girl!! We are so proud of you and of how hard you work at your school, sport and music. You are so talented and you are doing so well, keep it up! You are beautiful inside and outside and we love your beautiful smile. It has been so wonderful to be a part of you growing up. Your love for life is contagious and we love your giggles and your cuddles!! It's so special to see you almost every morning at school and I know Jake loves getting a hug from his big cousin in the morning. We hope you have a very, very special day today, full of surprises and spoils. You deserve it all, special girl! We love you sooooo much!!
All our love,
Auntie Sue & Jake

Happy birthday Becks. Hope she had a wonderful day. I love her 20/20 vision. Though for a minute I thought she was referring to her eye sight LOL
