Happy 13th birthday to our teenager!!!!

Yes, friends. Amanda is 13 today! It's almost hard to believe. It seems like it was just yesterday that I delivered into the world, through our Lord's grace, a beautiful 8 lb., 19" baby girl. A little girl who has given us more joy and filled our hearts with more pride than we could have ever imagined. That precious baby girl is 13 today and she has developed into a beautiful, smart, witty, funny, loving, young lady. We celebrated by going to her Aunt Ily and Uncle Herbie's house, had her favorite meal, pizza, and cut a cake.

Amanda, words can't express how much we love you. We thank God every day for the gift of you and are completely and totally blessed to call you our daughter. May God always fill your heart with his grace, peace, humbleness, humility and love for those around you.

Here are some pictures of our small celebration. And for those of you that have not seen the video that I did of Amanda early last year, click here. :)
