Happy Birthday Dear Cali!

Will someone please tell me how this cute, adorable, sweet baby girl….

grew up to be such a beautiful, amazing, fun loving college co-ed!!?!?

Today Cali turns 20!  I am now the mother of 3 children in their twenties and only one teenager.  How did that happen?

Cali, I wish I was there to celebrate with you and cook for you but this year the box full of surprises I sent will have to do.  Your love for life and all that you do is an inspiration.  Your tender heart and spirit are a blessing.  There is never a dull moment when Cali is around and we so miss your energy and noise in our home!!

You are entering a new decade of your life.  It will be an amazing and exciting one – I can’t wait to see what is in store for you and am grateful that I can be a part of it!

So today I will have to entrust you into the hands of your darling roommates…

and your loving brothers…

I love you sweet Calista Mary Wilkes!  Your Mother

    Cali has brought so much JOY into all of our lives. . . . .We well remember the phone call that the Jim Wilkes family had a baby girl–almost a rarity in the Wilkes line. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear Cali!

    Oh how neat, I never realized her name was Calista! My sweet Grandmother’s name is Calista (and the other ironically is Mary) so that name has always been on my short-list when I’m pregnant (with plans of nick-naming Cali) but alas- I seem to only produce little men!
