Children Are A Gift From The Lord: Birthday Post (um..a bit belated)

This is so long overdue. But here are some picture recaps of Grace's birthday. We (um, me, mostly) like birthdays, and we, as a family have pretty much been doing little mini celebrations over a week or two). Below, we have Brian's family's celebration from July 15th, her actual birthday where we took her and her good friend, Luke (you might remember him from here) to Zoo America in Hershey, and then her birthday party with my family in Williamsport. I also enclosed a pic with her and my dad, "Grumps," whom we saw saw after the party. Enjoy!! (P.s. I have at least two more posts coming with lots more pics, including our vacation to Assetegue Island). I also have a letter I started, with updates...not posting yet (very sad, btw...too many people telling me she is such a big girl!!!)
