Happy Birthday

Today, Macayla turns 7 years old. She is 58 lbs and 52 inches tall, as we discovered at a recent nutrition visit. We plan on having a party next week to celebrate her birthday and Jacob's birthday at the same time. Jacob said he wanted a "super hero" party like he did last year and he thought Macayla wanted a "Dora" party. If she could talk, I wonder if she would agree. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her this morning, but she did not seem overly joyed by it. Who can blame her considering who was doing the singing? I am amazed at how time seems to slip away. It has been an amazing seven years. In one respect it has flown by, and in another respect Macayla's birth seems like eons ago. That was a day when Macayla passed through a birth canal and her daddy passed out! I guess a lot has happened since then. She's a big girl. She's gorgeous. We are so blessed by her and we celebrate the beautiful life God has given us in Macayla.
