Little Mercy Rose is ONE

Philippians 1:9-11 "And this WE pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere
and without offense till the day of Christ.
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."



On Monday, May 19, 2008, our little Mercy Rose had her ONE YEAR OLD Birthday. What a joyful celebration we had looking back over the first 12 months (plus 40 weeks in the womb if we are being particular :) ) of her precious life. She is indeed a treasured gift from the Lord.


We started off Mercy's birthday with a Vacation Bible School Work Day at the Church. She played and crawled all around the gym, of which she loved. We then took her to Sonic for lunch with several of our friends from church. It was a beautiful day to be outside. She then took a very long nap which was good because it would be a late night for all of us. When Daddy and Papa got off of work, we headed to Gatti Town where they have a Merry Go Round and lots of games you can play. Mercy enjoyed every minute of her birthday of which you can see for yourself by the videos and pictures. Mercy was a delight to us all. She was readily available to open her presents. She had a little help from her sisters, Natty and Marie, but seemed to catch on rather quickly. She loved her pizza supper and birthday cake. She especially enjoyed riding the carousal, and we loved riding it with her. How we cherish these precious times we have with our little Mercy. The Lord's "Mercies" are definitely "NEW" every morning.



As for Mercy, she doesn't have any teeth just yet...nothing feels to be cutting through either. She can "GUM" just about any type of food. She loves to EAT! She isn't walking or really trying to make any attempts to. She crawls at the speed of light, however, and she likes to stand up on her own. Mercy may be ONE, but she is still OUR Little BABY.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERCY ROSE! WE LOVE YOU!
