Today our oldest daughter --who is over in the Ukraine--turned 13 years-old!
It doesn't seem possible that she could already be a young lady. Seems just yesterday that she was welcomed into our world and made me a mommy for the first time. She is beautiful inside and out. God has given her a heart for special needs orphans --if you go back to one of earliest post of our adoption you can read how He worked through her and her siblings to bring us to adopt again! She also loves to read, cook, and take care of children, which is a blessing to her family. My friend Amy told me her mother always said that the secret to having younger children is....having older children! It is true... and my oldest Haylee is like my right hand. (I'm not sure how I will manage the next 19 days without her and Naomi...though our 6 year old Annabelle is very excited to have the responsibilities now of being the oldest girl!) Haylee is very happy to be in the Ukraine for her birthday as it is one of her favorite places since traveling there last year.
Wishing we were together today Haylee, but thanking God for all you are and hoping your birthday trip to the Ukraine will be memorable.
