Two!


To Cheeks,
Sweet girl, what a joy it was to love you. Hard days, easy days, fun days, sad days- everyday with you was a day worth living. I will always remember the moment we said yes to you. The moment I wrote your name down and listened to your story... The moment I woke you up and pulled you out of your car seat and you smiled at me....and waved to our dog. You are funny, sweet, smart, strong-willed and determined. All those qualities will serve you well if you let your creator and your redeemer mold them. Our greatest hope for you is that you will know Jesus and understand all he has done for you. You have always been and always will be loved and worthy of receiving that love. You are a precious daughter of a King. The King. King Jesus. Be his servant. Trust his plans for your life. Get to know him, so you will live in his blessings and his eternal promises. You came to us in sadness, but one day "all the sadness and tears and everything will seem like just a shadow that is chased away by the morning sun." * Live your life for that day!

Cheeks celebrated her second birthday at home with her family.

And we got to be there!
