Happy Birthday Hope Shalom!!!

Our baby girl turned 10 years old today. I can't believe 10 years have come and gone so quickly. She has been looking forward to this birthday for awhile since she would finally join the double digit club! To make the weekend even more special, her grandparents drove up from Ky. and took her and a few siblings to Dollywood on Saturday. They spent the entire day pouring into all of our kids, and what a great day for each and every child! The grandparents stayed to celebrate Hope's birthday today with her dinner of choice and a pretty pink gift cake, apple pie, and homemade ice-cream. It isn't often that we have grandparents join us for our kids birthdays so this was extra special to Hope. I have lots of farm things to share in the days ahead. Stay tuned for some real farm fun, but for now I want to go spend just a few more minutes with my girl.

grace and peace,
