Amberito turns 12!

Wow - our millennium child has grown.  I cannot believe that 12 years has passed since our little gift of Amber came into the world.  Our daughter is a delight, full of life, and fun to be around.  A precious jewel, that is her name...

Amber had a great birthday yesterday and got to spend some time the night previously at Cal Poly and then to a sleep over with her friends from school.  As is tradition, she was woke early by prayer in her room along with signing her happy birthday.  I wonder what her friends thought about this being woke like that...  Then as part of the tradition, to the kitchen for a pancake breakfast!

As part of the fun, Jenn took Amber and her friends to Forever 21 for a little shopping with their season and birthday gift cards.  Both Jenn and I did not know that Forever 21 Owners shared their faith on their sales bags.  Did you know they place John 3:16 on their bags?  I appreciate those in their faith that take risks and share their joy of the Gospel.  Very cool...

We were delighted to treat her to a meal on her birthday which included grilled pork loin, julian vegetables, and homemade mac'n cheese.  We topped it off with celebration in the house along with homemade Cold Stone style ice-cream treats, karaoke, and fellowship with visiting family.

Loving my daughter - I appreciate my relationship with her.  I love dancing with her on her birthday...

So grateful to God for this great gift.  God bless you always and keep you my birthday girl...
