The Fourth is Four

Bellen turned 4 today. It seems much less than 4 years since I brought her into this world. She has been a source of complete Joy. The Lord knew what was ahead for us...from breaking my foot, to our relocation, to Cancer...twice. True, having a baby to care for was challenging during all of those experiences. But, as most have experienced first hand, babies bring an enormous amount of joy and have a way of directing all attention to themselves! For these reasons, she was a beacon of light during what could be considered a stormy time for our family. God knew what we needed in this family and it was Bellen Noelle! Her sassy, sweet, sensitive spirit adds so much to our family. 6 was our perfect number.

She had a very full day of celebrating...

          Last Day as a 3 year old

           Looking older already

         Breakfast out with Mom & Dad

           Preschool Party

           Family Dinner at Corvette Diner for the Birthday Girl

         The part she waited allllll day for

    And this creative boy recycled a gift bag into a costume

Last weekend she celebrated at American Girl too...oh, to be four!

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3
