Show and Tell Friday- A Special Gift and Treasure

Kelli @ There's No Place Like Home is hosting Show and Tell Friday. Don't miss seeing Kelli's garden decorations and all of the other treasures of the ladies participating this week!

This has certainly been a memorable day in our family's lives. Thursday was our daughter, Amanda's eighteenth birthday. That is a milestone most worthy of celebration. Her five older brothers have expressed to me their disbelief that she can possibly be this old. That is probably because they remember when she was born:)

Amanda blesses our lives with her love of music,

...her love for her family

her sense of humor...

and her smiles...

Amanda received a sweet gift today on her birthday- the sweetest of all... And our entire family gets to share the joy too!... Amanda's little niece was born today on her birthday!

May I introduce you to our new little granddaughter~ Sophia Genevieve Grace...
Here she is with her loving mommy Lisa...

and her proud daddy Ben:)

...saying hello for the first time.


Sophia is our special gift today and our treasure more precious than gold. Can you feel me smiling from there?:)) I'm feeling a trip to Pittsburgh coming sometime real soon:)

My heart is full...

Happy Birthday Amanda and Sophia!
