18 Years ago today a very special person came into this world! Esther Lois Molitor was born on February 11, 1992, around 4a.m. at United Hospital in St. Paul, MN. At that point we were still going girl, boy, girl, boy, girl.....
Here is a picture of Esther's 1st birthday!


With Mom on her first birthday (1993)

Esther at 20 months old
Esther on her 2nd birthday.

At 2 and a half years old, Esther became a big sister. Here she is with baby Joseph.

Shortly after this, she started "nursing" her baby dolls.

With Dad that same fall. (1994)

Here is Esther on her 3rd birthday (1995)

And I think we all remember her broken arm when she was 3! She broke it falling down the stairs right before bedtime.

Esther's 4th birthday (1996)

Here are all the Kids on Esther's 4th birthday!

Esther was a pretty proud big sister, always having lots of fun with her brothers.

And Esther has always been the perfect little sister too! Here are all the girls after our church Mother/Daughter Teddy Bear banquet! (1996)



Here are some photos of Esther's 5th birthday. She was treated as a queen, as you can see! (1997)



Here is Esther at 6 and a half, with Joseph who was 3(almost 4)

Here is Esther, proud as you can see of having her big sister be the teacher of her Daisy class! (Spring 1998)

Several more 1998 pictures (Esther 6 years old). Here she is doing a skit with her brothers.


And here is Esther with little brother Daniel, about 9 months old.

Big sister teaching little brother Joseph how to paint a rainbow.

This would have been Esther's 1st grade year in school.

And the year she learned to ride a bike! !

Helping big brother John do a show. (As I recall, they did not have prior permission for the lipstick and shaving cream, but it was too cute to be upset!)

Esther with Mom on her 8th birthday. (2000)

More fun with brothers. Summer of 2001, Esther 9 years old. (Sorry that a couple of pictures are sideways! I couldn't get them back around.)


Here is Esther the fall that she was 9 years old (2001). Girls taking "fancy" pictures at the gulf course across the street after we had taken a family picture at home.

Here is Esther with her 3rd little brother, Timothy. He is 6 months old.

More fun with big sisters. Right after Esther turned 12. (Feb. 2004) The girls all dressed in wedding dresses one night just to have fun. Rebecca is wearing Mom's wedding dress. Esther is wearing Rebecca's crowning dress and crown.



Summer of 2008. Esther 16 and Joseph almost 14. This was the year Joseph grew taller than Esther.

Esther and Rebecca with their new scarves from Kelsea at Christmas this year.

Esther still likes to have fun! This winter has been a great winter for it!
