Today she turns four.

i shake my head in wonder and amazement at how quickly these four years have flown.



She entered this world in a hurry.  10 days before her due date, we met her for the first time, and our hearts have never been the same.

She is our sweet Jor-baby.

She soon chucked that pacifier aside for her thumb, and to this day still tells me that her left thumb is her "best thumb".

She adores her brother.  They are partners in crime, those two.

She is the perfect mixture of an adventuresome princess.  She loves to dance, sing, draw, and play legos and dress up.  She hates nail polish, yet she loves high heels.  she can be complicated at times, but her love is deep.

her preschool teacher tells me she is a natural leader.  she comforts other children in her class by rubbing their backs and telling them, "it's okay big guy".

She is an animal LOVER.  This was evident at her (early) birthday party this year at the horse stable.

She is a smart one, that girl.  And OH so funny.  and full of love and joy.  She has the best laugh in the world. She has blessed my life and brings us so much joy.  My prayer for you sweet Jordan is that you will trust and love Jesus with all your heart and follow Him all of your days.
