Happy (belated) Birthday Audrey Laura Grace!!!

Audrey Laura Grace
September 26, 2007
7 pounds 2 0unces
21 1/2 inches








My precious baby girl, I can hardly believe that you are ONE! What a unexpected blessing you have been to us! I prayed fervently for a sweet, fat baby and God has given me above and beyond my requests (minus, the fat part). I was not expecting to be blessed with a daughter so soon after having two boys, but God had other plans. ;)


You are a joy and delight to your entire family. We love your sweet and feisty spirit, your ready smile and your engaging personality. I pray that you will grow to know and love God with all of your heart, soul and mind. And it is our sincere prayer that God will continue to bless you with such a sweet and happy nature (even in jr. high) and the ability to be content and joyful regardless of your circumstances (which will most certainly be trying with two big brothers).

We love you and are so grateful that His plans and timing supersede ours (and modern medicine's).


May you always rest contentedly and joyfully in him Big Pretty Girl!


Mommy, Daddy, Kyle and Lukey.
