Happy Birthday Lydia Beth

One Year Ago Today ...
Photos taken at early birthday party last week ...

Photo's taken today ... Happy Birthday Baby girl!

What a quick year it was! We were fairly overwhelmed when we learned there would be a lucky number 7 in our house ... we're still overwhelmed :) but more than that we are blessed and thankful for Lydia and her health and for the way God showed up in miraculous ways for her and for us this last year.

Announcement post here.
Slide show of Oct 4, 2007 here.

Thank you Lord for protecting Lydia through her crazy (and sometimes scary) first year of life - we pray protection and provision and your amazing love and grace on her today and always. Thank you for her life Lord.
Amen.

Troy is hanging in there. He had a rough evening last night with very high fever and vomiting but today is a little better than yesterday. Thank you for your sweet words and prayers. He (and we all) appreciate it. Dengue sometimes brings a very intense itchy rash on day five or six, we're praying specifically that Troy won't have that symptom very bad or even at all. Jeronne and Tipap are off this weekend and we're just taking care of Troy and laying low at home. Thanks for checking in.
Peace-
Tara
