Our Birthday Girl

Today, our little girl is ONE!

Precious one,
So small,
So sweet

Dancing in
On angel feet
Straight from Heaven's
Brightest star

What a miracle
You are!



She opened a present from our friends in Sweden. It was a sweet little strawberry hat! I'm sure some of my knitting friends could make something like this. I've heard there are different ones, like a blueberry, etc.

Here's the back of it:



My, how the time does fly.

She's made the transition from crawling to walking, and now prefers to travel upright. She especially likes to have something in her hands and/or mouth to chew on while she toddles around!

Happy birthday, dearest one,
Sweet child of my heart!
We've become one family,
Of which you are a part.

And so I sing out equally
To all of those who are
Mine by blood or fortune blessed,
No more, no less my star!

We are one in love and joy,
In fondness and in worth,
And so as one we celebrate
This day, your day of birth!

Happy Birthday, Clara! Marla, it's so hard to believe that it's been a year since she was born - doesn't it feel as though she's always been a part of your family? May she have many more birthdays and grow in her knowledge of, and love for, the Lord!
