Happy Birthday to My Oldest "Baby!!!"

Ana-my dear girl-
I thought I would just take a minute & tell you some of the reasons I love you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are such an interesting mix right now-one minute-mature & seemingly 1/2 way to 21 (insert sobbing sound!)........& the next minute-thrilled to pieces over a new doll! An American Girl doll you have always wanted! (thank-you Grandmother & Grandad!)


The protective way you mother & take care of your sister & brother......

Your creative & immaginative mind! You decided the other day that the playhouse needed a roof-so you built one yourself!

But, mostly, Ana, your Daddy & I love the way you have wholeheartely cared for those less fortunate than you, the way you KNOW that the terrorists NEED JESUS, & that YOU want to go & tell them about Him-Whom to know is life eternal.

You are constantly reminding us of people/situations we need to pray for, & we are humbled every day by your heart of compassion! May you never loose it!

Much love-to our precious oldest gift from God!

(Mom)
