Five years ago today, our second little angel came into our lives. This little one is our "live wire." She is a ball full of energy, has her own look and her own way.

I am forever amazed that the Lord would allow me to be a mom to this little one! What a joy it is to have her in our lives. My prayer for you, sweet Kate is the same today as it always is:

What an awesome privilege God has given me to be your Mommy.

I pray that you forever grow in His Grace.

I pray that you will grow to Love Him more each day

I pray that you will grow to show His love to others

I pray that you will have all the joys your heart desires

I pray that I will always be able to guide you along the right path

I pray that you will always know how very much you are loved

I pray that no one ever quenches your zeal for life

I pray that your enthusiasm is always used for God's glory

I pray for His wisdom in raising you to be all that God designed you to be.

You are your Mommy's joy, precious Kate!

I love you with all of my heart. Happy Birthday to my sweet girl.

Married WITH children

This seventh birthday of our firstborn marks a milestone for our family: my husband and I have officially been married with children longer than we were married without and I am so very thankful.

Seven Years ago today, this little girl made my life-long dream of becoming a Mommy a reality for the first time. I'm so thankful the Lord allowed us the privilege of being her Mommy and Daddy.

Happy Birthday to our oldest, Elena Nicole!
