So lately this blog has been all about Julie. Sorry for the lack of posts there, I promise to give an update this week before my next round of chemo, but for now, this is all about Alyssa.<\/p>\n

Alyssa is our first born. She kept me waiting 10 days past my due date, but I fell in love the minute I saw her precious face. She is probably your typical first born child in many ways. But since I only have one how do I know. She is sensitive, sweet, caring. Likes to have a playmate. Bright. Obedient. Honest. Loving. I love that she has made friends around her. I love that she loves her middle sister enough to play games on her level. I love that she needs to give hugs and kiss multiple times before bed. I love that she remembers things from years ago. I love that she loves to read ( a trait from her father). I love that she has parts of him and parts of me in her character. I love her sweet laugh. I love that she still needs my approval and help. I love that she is part of my life right now and that I have been given the task to teach her, love her and guide her in the ways of God. I can’t believe how fast 7 years has gone and I do not want to blink and miss the next 7.<\/p>\n

Her aunt and uncle were in town this week which made this birthday even more fun. She chose M&M, chocolate chip and sprinkle pancakes for breakfast and finished up the day with CFA. The big celebration was at the skating rink the next day with some of her friends. I … I mean … she had a blast. See all the photos.<\/a><\/p>\n
