Our Dearest Faith

I know it's not your actual birthday, it was on the 28th, but better late than never.

To Our First Born,

Wow, 7 years already! Where have the years gone. We have watched you grow from an infant into a young lady. You have given us so many wonderful memories. We are so proud of the girl you are becoming. Your love and loyalty to your family fills our hearts with joy. You have just a thirst for knowledge. You are always asking questions and wanting to know how things work or why things are the way they are. You love learning (now if we could just get you to learn to follow directions). You have a great sense of humor. You are probably the funniest little girl I know. One of my favorite things about you is when you do your funny dance. It never gets old and I almost always pee my pants laughing.

One of my favorite memories will always be you learning to read. Now you read us stories. I love cuddling in bed with you while you read to Emma and I. I love how you also write and illustrate your own books. You have told us before you want to be an illustrator and a writer when you grow up. You can do whatever you put your mind to. We will always support you. Follow your dreams my love. You are going to do amazing things in your life and we are blessed to be a part of that. We love you goober. Happy Birthday!!!
