8th Birthday!

We are so grateful for this little girl! Her name means "source of joy", and boy, did we sure name her appropriately. She has brought us joy since the day she was born, and she has had us laughing since she was old enough to start performing her antics---she is a very funny girl. God has gifted her in so many ways; we just can't wait to see what wonderful things God has in store for her. I just read a quote that I like: "We don't invent our children, we discover them". Although we have the responsibility to teach them and to train them, it is not our job to invent them---God has done that important work. The Bible says that "we are fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are God's works" (Psalm 139). She was so excited to get her very own "big girl bike" for her birthday.
Even brother and sister were excited about her new bike. She chose to go to Spaghetti Warehouse for her birthday dinner...again. This girl loves to eat spaghetti.
Aunt GiGi treated us to lunch at the Galleria and then took us to American Girl to surprise the birthday girl with matching pj's for her and her doll.....just what every girl needs.
