July 2000 - Mom, Zoey, & Tia

Zoey was born on January 18, 1997 in San Antonio, TX.  She had a tracheostomy at 3 weeks old, which was recently taken out on March 24, 2000.  She was a pretty sick baby, but every year got better and better and now she's a "normal", active, intelligent, healthy 3 year old girl.  She goes to school half a day and has everyone there charmed into believing she's an angel who's never into any trouble!  A joy to raise, a pleasure to know, I thank God for allowing me to watch over His little angel here on earth... although I never know how long He'll allow me to do this, I treasure every day.  Please enjoy Zoey's pictures and hopefully someday Zoey will get to meet other kids and adults who resemble her.  God bless!
