I have been blessed with on my birthday today…
Is the JOY of seeing her laugh.
And hearing her giggle until she cannot stop.
And to SEE a life completely transformed from the inside out!
Isn’t Hailee just beautiful? A flower that was just waiting to blossom.
She takes my breath away.
So very, very thankful for the beautiful gifts the Father has blessed me with this past year. God has been good to me.
I am so excited to see what the year ahead has in store. New adventures. New mountains to climb. New seasons to anticipate. The LORD is my strength and my song.
Thank you for journeying with me as I head into my final year in my 30’s. Where did time go?
With a heart overflowing.
Happy Birthday, Adeye!!
Yes, she is simply breathtaking! How blessed you are.
Love,
Kelly

Happy Birthday from Texas, Adeye. Love you, girl! You have the most beautiful children. Love seeing their pics on your blog. Have a blessed year!!!
Happy, happy birthday sweet Adeye!!!! I agree, what a wonderful gift!
Someone certainly knew that Hailee needed to be where she is.
She even is a splitting image of her mummy.
Hailee, give that momma of yours a birthday spankin from all of us. We love her to pieces and you too, sweet girl. Hope you had lots of cake today. I remember when Hailee first came home, the picture of her diving into that bite of cake. Beautiful blessing! Take care and glad you had a wonderful day!

Seeing her gives me so much hope for our Sam.

Only you look MUCH younger!
And yes, sweet Haillee is precious and beautiful….

What a sweet pic! Do you secretly LOVE IT that she looks like you? I always ate it up when people told me that my non-bio son looked like me. I always told him it was because we grew in each others hearts. Of course I have bio kids that look nothing like me and I just marvel at their uniqueness, so I guess I just love these kids no matter what:)
Yes, she is a BEAUTY! You are truly blessed. Happy birthday (belated)!
What a beautiful, happy little girl!
Adeye, she is so precious! I have to say that sweet smile gives me hope for our little Bulgarian girlie!
(By the way, I was born a mere 5 days before you were! Happy birthday blessings to you from another mom who is freshly 39! I don’t feel like 39, do you?)
What a beautiful picture seeing her smile and laughing! Blesses me in a way I can’t even explain! And what a wonderful birthday present for you!!
Hope your birthday was super great!!
Oh my goodness…she is so beautiful! I love the light in her eyes and the joy in her smile. Oh thank you, Jesus, for the healing that is taking place in sweet Hailee.
Happy Birthday, Adeye!!!
