counting years of BLESSINGS!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!
 Thank you  for all the blessings you have added to our life in the last 26 years! we are so filled with gratitude that God would bless our life so much through you!  Hope you have a wonderful day!



not so long ago you were our little peanut.  I think that is what Grandpa Abbas use to call you.  Seems like yesterday .  Now you have your own little peanut Addilyn Grace. Though we think of her as our sweet little pumpkin pie!  Because you were born in the fall, you are one of the  reasons that fall is so sweet to me!


wish I had a baby picture of you to share today ,  but after a hour trying  I am giving up~ so  here are more pics of your little pumpkin :)  After all these years of being your mom, I love watching you be a mom! you are doing a great job loving her and teaching her .  If she could she would tell you ....I LOVE YOU mommy!

wow this was just last year
