A day forever in my memory.

It was the day Olivia Clara joined our family.  She came into the world with a scream that lasted for months after. Olivia, your spirited character has blessed us with much laughter, many sleepless nights (thank you for starting to sleep through the night at almost age 3), tears, and even more joy. Your love for talking, your expressive ways, your energy, and your love and compassion for others have carried us through–especially this 2015 year. You have been the light in our lives when we thought we’d never see the light again.

It was so special to celebrate your third birthday with family this year. Keep shining your light and your love for Jesus. People are drawn to you and God is using you in a mighty way already.
