Happy Birthday Grace Marie!!

11 years ago today our Grace entered the world with barely a whimper. One of those labors that ended me with NO epideral because things went a little faster than they thought. Guess she was ready to make her mark on the world. And that she is doing.

She is shy upon first observation but passionate about things that matter. Right now she is saving her money because she wants to go on a mission trip and is not sure where. At first she was saving for an iPod Touch but told me she thought God wanted her to go on a mission trip so she changed her goal.

She is learning Mandarin with Rosetta Stone- a birthday wish and gift. We love you Grace and are proud of you!! So grateful God made us your parents.


 I try to take a picture of the birthday kid with each of the guests. The boys got her water balloons!

 This is Sharon, Yi's friend. Yi is in China, she left at the end of May. We email often, I miss her a lot- she seems to miss her home and family in the States too! Sharon is living with us for a few weeks this summer. We are grateful to have her and are enjoying getting to know her better.


 Faith and Joy got her a beach towel.
 She decorated the cake herself!




Happy Birthday Grace! We love you!
