My Baby Turns Three!!!

These are the first pictures I saw of C in August 2008. They were taken some time around her first birthday. It was love at first sight. As I read her file, I was overwhelmed by God's goodness in how He intervened in her life. C was near death when she was brought to the orphanage at 3 months old. She was blue, gasping for air, had pneumonia and 2 large holes in her heart. God placed several people in her path to nurture and care for her. She had surgery very young which changed her life. She is now completely healthy with no residual effects from her congenital heart condition other than a scar. She is full of life. A funny little girl with a sweet and tender heart.





My how she has grown!! I am so thankful for her life and the mercy and grace that God has pour out in her life. She is a rare treasure.

Wow -- can't believe she's already 3!!! She looks like such a big girl now. I know you are sad about that part.

Tell C we all said Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Celia! Can you believe it? 3 already?! I could've written much of that post myself--Jack turns 3 on May 10. Perfectly healthy after surgery to repair his lip. We really are blessed!
