Happy 5th Birthday Jadyn!

Today my girl turns a whole hand - the big 5 years old! So many emotions come over me when I think of 5 years!  We waited 5 years until she entered this world.  It was at the time what seemed like a long wait through secondary infertility.  We were told we wouldn't have any more children after MJ and that it was a miracle to even have him.  Now to look at what has taken place in the past 5 years - 3 children!  I am brought to tears to think of God's goodness and grace in our lives! 
Jadyn is such a personality!  She's a little mommy to her younger brothers and younger cousins.  She definitely has the gift of helps.  She is always looking for ways to help.  She's spunky, a bit stubborn, loves being silly and being the princess of our family!  I love this girl more than words can say!  We named her Jadyn Grace because Jadyn means "Jehovah has heard".  And He graciously answered our prayers with this precious girl!  Jadyn, we love you more than words can say. You are a testimony of God's goodness in our lives!  We pray that you will grow to be a godly young woman who desires to share God's love and good news to those around you!

For the big 5th birthday, I took her to the American Girl store and she got to pick out her very own Bitty Baby.  She was so excited!!!

Then we ate at the café.  Baby Lucy enjoyed lunch with us, too.

She even got a cupcake and the entire café sang Happy Birthday to her!

It was a fun day!

I am so thankful for my girl!!!

Quite the personality even at 1 year old.

An adorable 3 year old getting ready to move to Miami. We left for Miami the day after her birthday.

A crazy 4 year old.

A beautiful 5 year old.  I get a picture of her in my wedding dress every birthday. A fun tradition we started a few years ago.

Happy Birthday Jadyn!
