Happy Birthday Faith!!!

Today our sweet daughter Faith turns 6 years old! Micah is a little bit of the legalist in our family and so he says that she is not technically 6 until dinner time :) (when she was actually born)...but we love celebrating her life all day long!
She got to open her first gift this morning before Daddy left for work. The pictures show what her special gift is...a digital camera! Before you go thinking that this gift might be a bit extravagant for a 6 year old girl, we actually got this $100 dollar camera for $25 back in the fall when they were running a sale and a rebate on it in the same week!
Bryan and I both feel strongly that we need to be looking for ways that the Lord has gifted our kids and encourage them in that giftedness in hopes that it will benefit them and others for the glory of God in the future. In the last couple of years, Faith has showed great interest in her daddy's hobby of photography and she has a great eye for taking pictures herself. We look forward to seeing how God may use this and to enjoying her pictures and seeing life "through the eyes of Faith".

Faith,
We love you dearly and rejoice in your precious life. We remember the day you were born..the rolls on your chubby little legs and the joy in our hearts that God entrusted you to us. You have brought so many smiles and lots of laughter to our family. The way you see life and the words you use to describe it make us laugh often. And your smile is one of our favorite things to see each day.
We pray that your joy would be rooted in Jesus and that you would love Him more than anything else. We are so excited to see the plan that God has for your life and we are very, very, very thankful that that plan included us being your parents!
We love you sweet Faith! Happy Birthday!!!!
Love,
Daddy and Mommy
