MY JOSIE IS EIGHT TODAY!!

THIS JUST ABOUT SAYS IT ALL...THE LONG AWAITED BUNNY HAS ARRIVED. JOSLYN HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A BUNNY FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. JOSLYN ADORES ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS AND WANTS TO BE A VET WHEN SHE GROWS UP. SO MATT MANAGED TO BUILD A HUTCH AND SNEAK IN A BUNNY TUESDAY NIGHT THAT I KEPT HIDDEN IN MY LAUNDRY ROOM UNTIL THIS MORNING!! I THINK MATT AND I WERE ALMOST AS EXCITED AS JOSIE AS WE IMAGINED HER RESPONSE WHEN WE BROUGHT IN THE BUNNY. SO "THUMPER" IS THE NEW ADDITION TO OR CLAN. HE JOINS 6 GUINEE PIGS, ONE BETA AND TWO HERMIT HERMIT CRABS:).

Joslyn had her favorite dessert-turtle cheesecake...
Whenever a birthday falls on a Wednesday or Thursday we celebrate in the later afternoon since Matt is gone in the evenings. So it is desert before dinner-isn't that what every kid wants anyways:)

Joslyn spent a good portion of her day on the phone with many many birthday calls from Grandmas and Grandpas and Aunts and Uncles. It was fun to hear her share about her day. Matt came and kidnapped her at lunch and took her on a lunch date.

God is so good and has created such a magical little lady in Joslyn. It is fun to spotlight her for the day . My life is so rich having her in my life. What a treat to wake up to her whistling each morning and great big hugs throughout the day. She shares her heart openly, laughs without reserve, finds humor in almost anything, senses when someone needs encouragement, and spends hours creating what is blossoming in her precious mind. A true gift to us.
