Birthday Girl

Tomorrow is my daughter Rozalynn's birthday. She is going to be 7 years old. Boy does time fly by! I can still remember going to the hospital in labor with her. The night I was going in labor my friend Molly, my husband's mother were over at the house sitting with me. My husband (Rick) works 3rd shift. I remember telling him you probably should call in because we are having a baby tonight. He starts work at 10:00pm at night. But he is a supervisor so he felt the need to go in; he says to me just page me and I'll be on my way. So sure enough I was paging him at 12:30 telling him it was time. So it was a race to the hospital. Rozalynn is my second child. Keanul (my son) is now 13 years old. He's labor was only 3 1/2 hours. Went to the hospital at 12pm had him at 3:31 am. So many people have told us your second goes faster. Boy were they wrong!! Rozalynn was in no hurry to come out. 9 hours later she finally decided to come. And what a beautiful baby she was. I know everyone says that about there babies. But she was! The nurses gave her a perfect 10 rating on the Apgar test. So what a day of celebration of a birth. Now she's going to be 7. Still can't believe it. God has truly blessed my husband and I with not 1, but 2 beautiful children. Thank you Lord.

Matthew 19:14

Jesus said," Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matthew 21:16

"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.

"Yes," replies Jesus, "have you never read," "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'?"

I'm looking forward to birthday pizza tomorrow night.
I couldn't find fold chairs so I got something else...hopefully she'll like.

Keanul and Jared were sleeping by 10:30 last night and slept till 11:30 this morning! They got 13 hours of sleep!
Keanul is such a sweetie.
