| Our little butterfly, Rebekah Faith |
Today is our precious Rebekah's first birthday! We thank God for
bringing her into our family one year ago today. We thank God for how He
has blessed us through her already and for all we know He is going to
do in her life!

We celebrated Rebekah's birthday with our church family on Sunday. We made butterflies with our handprints, coffee filters and clothespin caterpillars for the big kids. Rebekah sat on the craft table supervising the big kids and chewing markers.
Thank you to our church family that celebrated with us. Thank you too to all our family and friends for your sweet birthday wishes to Rebekah today.

| Rebekah's first birthday cake |
We had a delicious strawberry birthday cake handmade especially for Rebekah by Mrs. Karen Goodbar. It was so fun to watch Rebekah enjoy this cake. Our firstborn would barely touch cake-we had to break her cake into pieces and hand them to her. Not so with Rebekah! I sat her behind the cake to get a picture and she reached out and picked out a butterfly and began to enjoy her cake! I finally had to move her so we could cut the cake and she could have some cake with her icing and butterflies. She ate an entire full sized piece of cake by herself! She wore the cake in her hair, on her eyelids besides along her mouth and chin.

Today on Rebekah's birthday, we spent some time playing at home, followed by a trip to the park for Brent and the girls. I was able to join them after work this afternoon. Besides, the park, they had Oreo ice cream and doughnuts for a treat. Rebekah got to try both for her first birthday! Of course, she liked both very much. After we finished at the park, we headed home for birthday lasagna. It is tradition in Brent's family to have lasagna on special days and today was definitely a special day!

" I am a promise, I am a possibility,
I am a promise with a capital "P"
I am a great big bundle of potentiality,
and I am learning to hear God's voice,
And I am trying to make the right choice,
I am a promise to be...
Anything God wants me to be"
-song by G. Gaither

| Happy Birthday, to our little butterfly. We Love You! |
"For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well."
Psalm 139:13-14
