EIGHT YEARS' AGO...TODAY!

SHE'S EIGHT YEARS OLD TODAY!


Eight years ago, I had the privilege of seeing my sweet baby niece, Lizzie, being born. What a miracle! She and I formed an unbreakable bond right from the start, and it was also the first time I became an aunt! Such an exciting time! Through the years, Lizzie has never failed to make me smile, make me laugh. She is such a little doll, so full of love, yet full of emotion. She is such a blessing to our family.

LIZZIE ~ how can it be that you are already 8 years old, heading into the 3rd grade? It seems like only yesterday that you were this little bundle wrapped up in a blanket and held in my arms. I still hold you now, but no longer wrapped in a teeny tiny bundle, but as a big girl.



Some things I LIKE ABOUT YOU:

1. The way you giggle

2. The smile on your face.

3. The love in your heart.

4. Ariel (or is she a "rat") and the interesting hair style you have given her.

5. Your zest for life.

6. Your love of Jesus; singing VBS songs.

7. Your warm embrace.

8. Your beauty.


....there are SO many more attributes of your life that I adore. You are so special Miss Lizzie Lou, Lizard, Liz, and Elizabeth...I LOVE YOU!
