Two!

Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

Aubrey is two today!

We sure had no idea what to expect when she made her dramatic entrance into the world two years ago, but we knew we could count on God's faithfulness-- and He has been oh so very faithful. I can't even begin to express how blessed we feel as we consider the demonstrated keeping power of the Holy Spirit in Aubrey's life: she has had no long sicknesses, no extended hospitalizations (other than her first few weeks in the NICU), no surgeries, no interventions. Not only that, one would never know anything is different about her heart from watching her: she is active, feisty, developmentally on track, talkative, a busy-body, full of opinions, strong-willed, a good eater, and lively.

Today we not only celebrate the precious, strawberry-blond, spitfire of a little person that Aubrey is, but also the constant and very present reminder she is to us that nothing is impossible with God.

Happy Birthday to an amazing and wonderful girl!

    I remember hearing about her birth like it was yesterday!!  I also remember that when things were looking scary there for a few days, I was crying so hard, I bumped into someone's car at the post office!  When I opened my car door, the lady kept saying "Don't cry, it's not that big of a deal!!"  I finally told her that I wasn't crying about the car!
    She is truly amazing... Happy Birthday, Aubrey!
    PS I just love that first photo!
