Happy Birthday, Eliza!


Wow, when did she get to be so old? 9 years old is hard to believe. At least for me. Eliza is such a joy in our life. She has always been a loving sister & daughter, willing to help and so caring. As I was hunting through pictures (mental note: organize non-digital pictures), I really couldn't believe how far she's come. One minute she's the same size as a Tickle-Me-Elmo and the next she's that angel in the top left of the collage.

A short narration of the above pictures; starting at the top row, left corner: This December in the Nativity as the angel Gabriel; (straw hat) 3 1/2 years old at Yellowstone; 3 days old; about 15 months old; bottom row, left: about 3-4 weeks old; almost 4 years old; with the straw, 10 months old; kindergarten picture, almost 6 years old.

Happy Birthday, my Eliza Claire! My oldest daughter and first joy!
