Happy 13th Birthday Lexie



Alexis Trinity Irving was born 13 years ago!  She is our first grandchild.  We were thrilled when she entered our lives and continues to amaze us.  It's wonderful to watch her grow into a woman.  She is so much like her mother!  I call them Pete and Repeat.  She was called Lexi at birth but in grade 7, Lexi decided she didn't like the way her mom spelled it and it's now Lexie!
