21 today!
21 Today!
I thought I would just quickly add a few pictures from the beach yesterday (of the birthday girl in her early birthday pressie hat) for you to take a peek at.
She woke up very tired today after only a TWO hour sleep last night... probably because she was excited about her birthday. She is having a quick snooze right now before we head off to celebrate at the Aquarium later.... (I will no doubt have a post on that one coming up soon)
I'm feeling like it's a miracle that our precious girl is still here with us all these years later...(see Heni's story.... part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here & part 4 here) and also feeling blessed to be celebrating with all the family together today... (reunited for a short while after my eldest son and daughter in law moved to America to live last year)
Gotta go now... but just wanted to wish our gorgeous young lady the very best of birthdays today...
See you all soon

P.S We showed her the finished birthday project last week as we knew we would be on holiday for her actual day.....see part one of the project here ... and be sure to log on for part two which is coming up real soon!

ReplyDeleteYou are my hero. the strength of Christ in you is so evident by the 21+ years of steadfastedness and determination to love and help you sweet girl. You, my friend, are a Mama warrior.

You are so kind Lori. I don't often feel like a mamma warrior but I guess I have fought a lot on her behalf over the years. I'm sure you know exactly what that's like too. Sending virtual hugs into cyber space back your way too.
DeleteHappy birthday, sweet girl - enJOY your day!
