Happy Birthday!

It is terribly late and I am totally exhausted, yet I cannot let this moment pass. Today is my "baby's" birthday! It seems only yesterday when the doctor laid her in my arms and I gazed into her eyes with wonder and awe. She has been a blessing ever since. Brigitta has grown so much this past year and time is rushing by so fast that I can hardly bare it. Sometimes I wish I could just make time stand still so that I can cherish these precious moments a bit longer.

Just for fun we looked up the meaning of our names today . Brigitta's means: Exalted one, or One who is strong. If anyone knows this little girl, she fits her name perfectly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIGITTA!

WE LOVE YOU!

As you can see, Brigitta loves her daddy!

This last picture was taken on the first Sunday

of this month when our family got together

to celebrate the birthdays for September.

Mar-Kay's birthday is in just a few days and we

have some wonderful surprises in store for both of them,

but don't tell anyone because it is hush, hush.
