Our little Birthday Girl



"[We pray] that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." Col 1:10-12

Thank you Mauri for blessing Reagan last year with that Scripture! It is now a favorite of mine and will be repeated over and over to our children.

Now, as a Mom, I look at birthdays much differently! As a kid you look forward to the party, the presents, and adding one to the question "how old are you?" As a mom, birthdays will be always about looking back. Looking back to the day that picture of R was taken in the hospital... with her legs sticking up in the air and her chubby little cheeks. How she got so big in 731 days (don't forget leap year!), I will never know. Happy happy birthday sweet girl! Your Mommy and Daddy love you SO much it is ridiculous! (Pictures to come tomorrow... I worked forever deciding which to post that I am now too tired to finish!!)
