Elaina's Birthday


Last week Elaina turned 9!!

To look at Elaina now it is so hard to beleive that when she was born she weighed only 1lb 6oz and had an apgar score of 1. The Lord healed her and she has developed into a beautiful, strong and very smart girl.

We have a rule in our home that when it is someone's birthday we all have the day off from school and do something fun together. So we took a picnic lunch and went to Queeny Park in St Louis. We spent the afternoon climbing trees, playing at the playground and getting a little lost on a walking trail.

Happy Birthday Elaina!

I am glad that you all had off from school! I think that when my birthday comes I am going to ask the school to cancel classes! Do you think they will do that for me?

Ha! Probably not!
Love,

So, what day exactly was your birthday, Elaina's? Our Elena had her 10th on the 23rd of Sept! It's too bad you'll not be in Rothwell at the same time.
