Happy Birthday Elizabeth!


It's hard to believe that 7 years ago today our precious Elizabeth was born! (Actually, this post was made exactly 7 years to the minute!) I can still remember the excitement that filled our hearts that day when we saw our little girl for the first time. It has been such a joy to watch her grow and develop into the little lady that she is today.

The picture above shows how little she was starting out! Her tiny head would fit into the palm of my hand. That first day she only took in a quarter once of milk. It's fun to remember changing the first diaper, her first solid food, those first steps. Wow, how she's grown. Thanks for letting us reminisce on this special day. We thank the Lord for the joy that our two girls bring into our home.

    Happy Birthday to your daughter. The time does go fast. My little one just turned 6 at the beginning of this month. And I'm still trying to get away with calling her my baby. She's taller than the 8 year old though.

    Debbie,
    Missing you on MySpace! Where'd you go?? Hoping you're ok. Loved your blog about Elizabeth. They grow up so fast, so enjoy them. That old phrase "cooking and cleaning can wait till tomorrow....I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep" is SO true! Hope to hear from you soon!

    I just read your email update. It was so exciting to read that all of those mothers visited your church for Mother's day. Thanks for including a list of prayer requests. I'm going to get the kids together and we will pray for your family and ministry. Thank you so much for witnessing to the people in Peru.
