This week we celebrated Jessica’s birthday.  Birthdays make a good reason to reflect back.

I had to be flown out of town to go to a bigger hospital for Jessica.  I was two weeks overdue and the hospital admin. staff wanted me on a 10 hour bus trip.  My doctor wasn’t very impressed, and got me on that plane real quick!

In the end, Jess was born, emergency caesar

, and weighed 9lb 12oz.  A big baby!  We had to wait 5 days till we could get a plane back home.

12 days old!!  She is dressed ready for a trip into town.

I remember Jessica’s baby days with two strong memories – crying and giggling!  She did both well!

As she grew up she was very much into making other people happy, a real servant heart.  Here is our princess at 6yo.

Jessica is into being a lady –
and to celebrate her birthday this year
she invited her friends to a Princess teaparty

And now she is 14 years old.  She is a beautiful young lady – a girl who loves God, seeks Him daily, who is loving and caring and who goes out of her way to get things done and bless others.  She is someone I giggle with, talk with and rely on greatly!

Happy Birthday Jess
We love you heaps!
