I realize that time has lost all meaning in this the year 2020 Volume 2, but there's still this weird thing where this simultaneously feels like yesterday and about 1000 years ago.
It's been just shy of 15 years, by the way.
Take that in for a moment, internet. Alexis was 3 weeks old in that photo and now she will turn 15 years old on January 27.
Alexis is exactly who she has always been. Kind, smart, thoughtful ... as I said to someone earlier this week, the kid is annoyingly perfect.
I say "annoyingly" with love, of course. Alexis knows it. She knows she has amazing curls that tons of people (including me) envy. She knows that she's incredibly fortunate to have school stuff come naturally to her. And she's definitely living a privileged life.
But while she was gifted a lot of things, she also has an incredible work ethic and will do pretty much anything for anyone, especially her baby sister.
Basically, she's great kid and always has been.
Happy birthday, Alexis. I hope your 15th year is a great one.
