Our Princess turns 6!

Such sweet memories from her birthday last year - her big 5th birthday. She wanted a princess birthday, and we did it all! She had friends, a butterfly birthday cake, real china - even the little crown and gloves and LOTS of fun! Her name, Melody, was a God-given name, and fits her so well. God certainly planned the timing of her birth in more ways than one.

She was our first baby after our stillborn baby, Angela Hope. She did not replace Anglea, but brought such joy in our hearts - a new song, because of God's grace. And now she's on the other side - right before a difficult reminder of Matthew's homegoing, and brings us that joyful reminder of God's grace and the song that is still in our hearts. So, we wipe away these tears, and rejoice in God's goodness that is reminded so wonderfully again, with the children we are so blessed with.

Melody is a very "dramatic" child. She fits the "princess" mold - and yet, such a loveable, endearing child. So, we shall see what today brings! She asked before bed if we will have the house all decorated for her by morning! So, I need to get a few things up before getting to bed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELODY GRACE!

IT'S YOUR DAY!
