Happy Birthday Meggie

I'm 4 years old today....
How can it be 4 years already!?!?! I can still vividly remember going into labor and giving birth to Megan. I look at her now and am amazed at the person she has become. She is such a sweet, sensitive and caring little girl. I love her imagination and watching her play. She loves to play with babies and I know with all my heart that she will be an awesome mommy one day! She loves her brother and sister so much and takes such good care of them!Meggie at about 1 month old!

I love how Megan prays and wants to read her bible! She loves to learn new things. I love her big hugs and how she tells us she loves us. She is growing up so fast!! She is such a precious gift from God. Happy Birthday sweet Meggie!!!
She had a kids birthday party this morning and she had a great time!! We had an ice cream themed party this year. All the kids got to make their own ice cream sundaes with lots of treats on top!! I mad a few appies and also made a birthday cake in the shape of an ice cream cone. Jeff and Megan drew and painted a poster with an ice cream cone and then the kids played pin the cherry on the ice cream cone. It was so cute!!The weather is beautiful today, so we had the whole party outside. The kids loved playing around the yard and us moms got to hang out in the shade!Jeff brother, Curt, became an official lawyer this week. We went to a ceremony at the law courts on Tuesday. It was really neat to be there and celebrate with him. We are really proud of him!!I borrowed a bumbo chair from a friend...this is Marty's first time in it...I think he liked it!In other news, Jeff's grandma passed away on Monday. She was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. We went to visit her on Sunday and we are so thankful that we got to see her one last time! Megan has been asking some questions about death...she seems to understand that Grandma is in heaven with Jesus now, but she wanted to know when Grandma is coming back, because Jesus came back!! I love the innocence of a child.
Grandma and Gabby.Grandma and Grandpa with Megan and Evan...their oldest great-grandchildren!

We have the funeral tomorrow and I know it will be a beautiful celebration of Grandma's life! I am so thankful for the hope with have in Jesus. It's still sad to miss someone when they pass away, but we know that Grandma is in a much better place now. We were talking to Megan about heaven and about how great and wonderful it is there, but she seemed to think that life was pretty good here!! But, we don't even have a clue about how great it will be:)
