Today, 12 years ago, Jessica Danielle Wolfe (goodness she has a beautiful name) was born early afternoon on a Monday. Daddy picked us up from school - and as soon as we saw him we knew the baby was born because he didn't usually pick us up. So, we all got in that big blue van and went to the hospital to meet her! I was 10 and having one more little sister totally changed my life. She taught me responsability and patience. She taught me how to care for others before myself. I complained about changing diapers, of course, but I absolutely loved taking care of her. And she taught me a skill I value highly: how to put a baby to sleep (though, as she got older she fought me on that one :).
Now Jesse is 12 years old! Throughout the years watching her grow up, I was always impressed with how independent she was. If she wanted something, she would get it herself or figure it out even though she had plenty of people who she could have gotten to do it for her. I have missed so much by being away from college but every time I come home I am amazed by how much she has grown. I love you Jesse!
