She is our 2nd born daughter. Our 4th born.... our petite little girl. She shares a birthday with my sister! Who is also petite. My sister called her Peewee!
1 yr. 17lbs 8oz ~ our tiny girl
almost 4. Still tiny 29lbs. Full of life...
She was a tiny thing but she was a fire cracker as my Dad would say. Wide open. I remember the night I came home from the hospital... about 6 months after this pic was taken. She was so excited. Michael was a senior in high school. He was video taping... she kept saying "I need my light on, I need my light on!!" So he walked to her room and turned her light on. She said in a very loud voice "THANK YOU, SWEETIE!"

God has truly blessed us. She is very secure. Her love for people and her service to others amazes me. She teaches me daily how to love Jesus by loving others.

Wishing Alyssa a Happy Birthday!! :-D
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the "simplicity" thing!! Your blog looks very refreshing!! And yes, if you changed the name I would still follow!! Don't have any suggestions but I'm sure you will find something that expresses you best.
Haven't heard much about Mandi in a while (or have I missed that somewhere?). How is she doing?
I sure hope that one of these days our families will get to meet irl!!
Love ya!!
She is just lovely Teena. Happy birthday Alyssa!
