Princess Lydia is 9!

Picture by our wonderful friend Molly

Our sweet Lydia is 9 years old!  Wow it is amazing how time has flown by.  I remember going to the Dr.'s office and them sending me to the hospital to be induced.  24 hours later Sweet Lydia was born via C-Section.  The moment Jaime held her in his arms - he changed.  He went from being unsure about be a dad to the most incredible daddy you can find.  I know for him it was love at first sight. 

Lydia is sweet, caring, sensitive, loving, responsible, she wants to do her best, doesn't want to disappoint, wants peace and is faithful to her friends and family.  (So much like her daddy.)  I am so blessed that this little girl is mine.

She is changing from being a little girl to being a young lady.  It is amazing to see her heart for people, her love for Jesus and her desire to worship.  We love to treat her and spoil her on her birthday - because she really doesn't ask for much.  She is our princess and she will always be. 

Here is a glimpse of my prayers for her:   God help Lydia to know what an amazing treasure that she is to Jaime and me.  Thank You for her sweet, kind, senstive heart.  Thank You that she loves to give.  Keep her heart from being hurt - be her protector, be her defender, be her sheild.  Help us to raise her to be a goldy woman, one who lovesYou and who will fight for the truth and one who will always seek peace.  Protect her all the days of her life.  Keep her body, her mind, and her emotions safe from harm.  Harm either done to her, by accident, or done to herself.  Thank You for the beautiful young lady You have given to us.   Amen.

Happy Birthday my sweet first born!  You are a blessing and a treasure and a joy to my heart!
