Birthday Girl!

Today is the day Mike's eldest child was born.  We celebrate her birth in our hearts and are thankful for God's blessing us with her in our lives.

Here she is at only a couple of months old...

...and a few months later when she is sitting alone.  Isn't that smile like sunshine?

I love her sweet little cheeks and legs in this one!

She's all innocence here.

Could anything be sweeter and more angelic?

This one makes me just want to squeeze her sweetness.

Here she is starting to look less like a toddler and more like the big sister she had become.

What a fashionista - even at an early age!

Relaxed and pondering...

curious and questioning...

animated and glowing...

inquiring and involved...

more mature, but still cute and styling...

adoring and indulgent...

encouraging and devoted...

loving and doing what she does best...

...surrounded by even more love than this photo could possibly show.

Happy Birthday, Laura!

We love you.
