Today is my 40th birthday! And since I already talked about my feelings about the 'big day' in my last post, I thought I'd do something fun today to celebrate this milestone birthday. If you have read my blog for any length of time, you know how much I enjoy posting photographs that were taken through the years. So, I invite you to join me today for a walk down memory lane...one that has stretched along for four decades.
To steal a line from David Copperfield...I am born...1967. In this photo, I am 3 months old. And just an extra little sweet note...this is the same dress that Ellie wore home from the hospital in 2000. I thought that was kind of special!
I'm not sure how old I am in this next photo, but I'm thinking 6-7 months.

Age 39/364 days/15 hours! LOL My last photo in my thirties!
Hopefully I didn't bore you all with my 'photo-documentary' today! Believe me, I had more I could've put up (including ALL twelve years of school plus preschool and kindergarten)! LOL But seriously, I've enjoyed looking back on the first forty years of my life in pictures and remembering all the happy times and wonderful memories the Lord has blessed me with! Here's to the next 40!
You are so adorable! You haven't changed at all since your wedding day! What a lovely bride. How awesome that you have special pictures with all your babes. Happy Birthday!
Today is 2Peter3:18's birthday too.
Hope it was as Happy as my anniversary!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
PS The baby I got to help deliver last month, the mom was 40 (:
Happy Birthday to you Amy,
We love you and thank God for sending you to be our daughter......We pray that God continues to bless you, Chad and Children with His richest blessings....
Love,
Mama and Daddy
Happy Birthday, Amy!!! I LOVED seeing all the pictures...you are just beautiful! I think it is lovely that you took a picture with each new baby that you had...I love all the white outfits! I hope your birthday is as sweet as you are!
Hugs!

Hi! I was reading Beth's Bountiful Blessings and clicked on the link to your page. I am also approaching the Big 40 very soon. Your pictures are great! You have a beautiful family and I really enjoyed sharing your happy day. Wishing you many more blessed years!
I stopped by to wish you a happy birthday!! I came from you mom's blog!! I also have a daughter that turned 40 in June...She has a blog called http://celebratinglifeandfamily.blogspot.com/ She has 4 children. You two might like to read each others blogs. Hope that you day goes well...Sandy or Flip Flop Floozie!!!
I thought about you so many times on Wednesday, Amy! It sounds like you had a wonderful day ~ I'm so glad! I loved seeing your life in pictures. You are just as sweet and beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside!
I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
