Our Anna is so great. When she was born it was clear she was going to be a blessing. She was quiet. So, so quiet. And her large, brown eyes and dark length of hair melted our hearts. Quite frankly, she took our breath away. I remember when Tim and I were first married, I wanted some of our children to have my coloring and some to have Tim’s. Our firstborn son is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed dynamo(he takes after me in that regard). Needless to say, I was excited when I looked into her eyes and saw Tim’s eyes. What a blessing.
It’s interesting to think back to that day and remember the pregnancy and labor and think, “Boy, I would totally do that all over again, just to get her.” She has lent a fragrant feminity to our home and we thank our Lord for her.
I can’t quit giggling over this photo!
Thank you, Anna, for portraying your feminity in such a delicate way! 
We sure hope your day was great. We wanted to call you to sing Happy Birthday to you, but none of us could quit coughing long enough to make it through the song. At our house, birthdays last a week, so maybe we’ll call you in the next few days. We love you oodles!
