Happy Birthday, Brooke!

Fourteen years ago, God blessed me with another beautiful baby girl! If you want to, you can read her birth story here.

She is definitely one of a kind, my baby Brooke! She is full of confidence (sometimes TOO much) but she's usually always happy and full of love for life.

I love that she likes to go to Church of the Highlands!

I love that she loves all people--especially those with special needs or of a different color, race or creed!

I love that she loves to dance!

I love that she knows who she is and what her style is and doesn't conform to that of her peers!

I love that she loves kids, especially her cousins!

I love that she wants to do missions!

I love how she loves our dog, Mady!

I love that she's a planner and starts planning the next holiday the day after the first one!

I love that she likes to read!

I love that she's a loyal friend!

I love her beautiful dark hair and big blue eyes, even though she wants to change both from time to time!

I love that she likes to try new things and isn't afraid of not making the team or whatever!

I love that she's a great soccer player and won't miss a game for anything--even to go the the A day game in T-town!

I love that she loves her brother and sister (even if she does fight with Kayti sometimes) and wants to spend time with them!

I love how resilient she is and how she's handled all the changes from the past year!

I love that she is my daughter and that God knew what He was doing when He surprised me with another baby!

I love that she is verification for the fact that sometimes we have our own plans and we think we know what we want but God knows better and His plans for us are better and He will bless us beyond what we deserve!

Happy Birthday, beautiful! I love you!
