HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY JOIA!

Twenty-two years ago we were so excited to welcome you into the world. It was a difficult delivery but well worth all the pain and struggle to get you here.

Thank you for being the sweet girl you are and for living up to your name. You have brought us much joy and fulfillment and we're so glad you came along to complete our family.

God bless you Jeannie. Dad and I love you and are very proud of you and all the hard work you've done in your life. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

Thanks for being such a special part of my life.

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!

It's hard to believe that 30 years ago Daddy helped me walk in deep snow to the hospital so that you could finally make your appearance. You always did things your own way. First you were two weeks late and then when you did decide to come, you were almost completely delivered before the Dr. even made it into the delivery room to catch you just in time.

It's been a great journey Son, one that I'm glad I was able to take. You have always challenged me to think "outside the box". I'm so glad that God gave you to us and has protected you all these 30 years through all your adventures. You remind me of Abraham. He broke the mold when it came to following God and no matter the mistakes he might have made along the way, he never lost his love and thirst for following that Unseen Hand.

Happy Birthday Jonathan. Dad and I love you with all our hearts. It's a priviledge to lift you up to the Lord today and ask Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think to bless you in a special way, to meet all your needs and to surround you with His peace.
