Happy Birthday Grace!!


It's hard to believe that our little hurricane...I mean princess....is six years old today! :o)

Six years ago our baby girl was born without a voice far away in Calcutta, India. (Typing that just made me laugh because whenever Grace tells a story it always begins, "Once upon a time, far, far away in Calcutta, India....) If you know Grace, her being born without a voice seems hard to even imagine, and she's been making up for lost time ever since. But we call her our miracle baby. Every child is a miracle, but the fact that God brought a family together with a baby girl all the way on the other side of the world is truly amazing....a baby girl who had no voice, who could have had severe brain damage, but didn't....well, that is just a HUGE miracle to us!

And what is our girl up to these days? This week she is at day camp and having a blast! In the Fall she will start Kindergarten! She is a smart girl with a huge imagination. Her favorite word lately is "actually". When I ask her something she'll say, "Well, ACTUALLY Mom....." She LOVES to swing and can pump and swing really high all by herself. As always, she is a busy, busy girl!! She continues to keep me on my toes and on my knees! :o)

So Happy Birthday to our sweet Princess Grace!!! We love you so much!!

P.S. - The pictures are ACTUALLY from her princess birthday party that we had last Friday night.
