Locks of gold and eyes of sea,Bring to mind sweet memories,
Of bouncing joy and smile like sun,
A girl of life by name, Manon,
Four full years paraded by,
In time more quick than one can sigh,
In each one evidenced the more,
Divine design bless'd by the Lord,
May a year o'blessings be this fifth,
As you learn to use the gifts,
From the Father who loves you more,
Than any heart on earth can store.
---Love, Daddy
What a sweet time we had celebrating the 4 years of life our Father has given Manon. The day began with snuggles in the big bed together recollecting the moments Manon took her first breath. After that I cooked her favorite breakfast - toast with home made apple sauce. During breakfast we prayed Psalm 4 over her. We spent the rest of the day preparing for the party, baking cup cakes, blowing up balloons and decorating outside our house. Monty went by the post office to find a gift for Manon from Grandma - just in time. Our Wa friends came over in time for dinner, cake and games. We enjoyed an ice cream eating contest, cat and mouse and musical chairs. After the party everyone piled in our house to watch "The 10 Commandments" (chosen by vote). Can you find Judah in the picture?
