"Which shoes should I wear with my new birthday dress?" 
Due to Regan's birthday falling on the day before school started and Back to School Night as Cindy posted on her blog, a regular nighttime birthday party was impossible. So, Greg and I went up Thurday night, August 21st, to take her gifts and wish her an "upclose and personal" HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wow! Our oldest grandchild is now 10 years old! How did that happen when we remember like it was yesterday the day she was born! We remember waiting outside the delivery room anxiously listening for that little newborn baby cry! Another vivid memory is when we found out Cindy was expecting. I remember laying in bed that night talking with Greg as we tried to imagine what it was going to feel like to cradle that newborn grandbaby in our arms and realize that a whole new phase of our lives was beginning! We were going to be grandparents! It was exhilarating! And may I say with the greatest enthusiasm that 16 grandchildren later, it is still the most glorious experience to hold one of these precious little grandbabies and welcome them into our family! There are no words to describe it! Thank you, Regan, for setting such a great example for our 15 other grandkids to follow! You are delightful in every way and a wonderful example of the blessings of trying to be like Jesus. Anyway, I am posting a few little pictures I took that night of all the Teichert kids. Happy Birthday, Regan!

Love, love, love, the post, mom! The pictures are adorable. I got a big kick out of Kaleb in the cowboy boots. I too, can't believe that Regan is 10!! I think she realizes she's growing up and keeps telling me that she'd like to stay young, she wonders why her hair is all the sudden more greasy than her sisters, why she has a little zit on her nose, etc. etc., It seems like yesterday that we were living with you guys and enjoying Regan's first year of life together! Love you guys and appreciate your great example to Regan as well as the other kids.
