Jun. 13, 2006 - Princess C turns "9" today!!!
Family Life

My Sweet "C",

     It is so hard to believe that it has been nine years since I held you in my arms for the first time.  From the beginning we have enjoyed our mommy/daughter time.  Although it started out with nursing, we now enjoy going out to lunch, shopping or just hanging out.  We are so much a like it is scary.  Remember the time we even won a parent/child look alike contest! 

     You are growing up right before my eyes.  However, one thing has still remained constant.  Your love for "blankie"  Your Great-grandmother made you this simple little quilt when you were born.  You have refuse to call it a quilt ever since.  "Blankie" has seen its better days but it is still just as precious to you.  "Blankie" is my one reminder that you are still my little girl. 

     You have been strong and firm in your beliefs from an early age.  Before you turned 3 you picked pink as your favorite color and it hasn't changed since.  You have also been just as passionate about horses for as long as I can remember.  In the time you have accepted Christ  you have shown a new passion.  A passion to please God and learn all you can about your Christian faith.  You also have a passion for missions.  It thrills our heart to see you want to reach out for the hurting and lost.

     Now your passion for the hurting is heading into a new direction.  Your heart breaks when you see an animal hurting.  Your have now decided that you want to be a veterinarian.  We are excited to see how this new passion turns out. 

      It is such a joy knowing that God gave you to us as one of His little treasures.  I pray that we continue raising you in a way that would be pleasing to God.  I pray that God continues to shine in your life and that He blesses you in all that you do.    

    I love you dearly, Princess, and wish you many blessings on your birthday.

                                                                      Love, Mom

Here are some photos that journal your "growing up"  Since we are in the middle of a move I didn't have any baby pictures around or I would have added them.

Wow - it's hard to believe, but you've almost grown up right in front of me, as well!! LOL I used to change your diaper when you were at MDO and now you're 9. What's up with that?!!

I'm so sorry we missed your party. Next time we'll schedule better and we'll get a play date together for you and Princess P.

Love you,
Christine
