HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!

Happy Birthday Ashley!!
May 19th

Tomorrow marks a special day for our family...your arrival!! How did these 21 years fly by so fast??!! It seems like only yesterday that Daddy snapped this picture of us napping the afternoon we brought you home from the hospital!
You filled our home with smiles and laughter!

And fun memories...One of my favorite pictures of you... a full tummy, but hanging on to your pancake for dear life!
Our little ballerina...full of life and dancing...Growing into a lovely young lady...
High School Graduation... A Proud Moment!
We're so glad you chose Casey...
...to be the newest member of our family!

We wish we could be together on your 21st Birthday.
Always remember how much you are loved!!
Happy Birthday Baby!

It just amazes me when I see those pictures in sequence like that how much time has flown by!! My Grandmother would always say stuff like that... but I never believed her, because time went slowly for me when I was a kid! Haha. But she was right... as usual!!

Tell Ashley I said Happy Birthday, (does she have a blog?)
Love, Bee
P.S. Been praying for you and your "empty nest."

Bee: I always had a hard time understanding how time could go more quickly when you are older...but it is SO TRUE!! Sometimes it seems like just yesterday that we were sitting outside of Miss Sunny's dance studio visiting while the girls were in class. Sweet memories "old" friend!! ;-) (Remember... you ARE OLDER than me-ha!) No, Ashley says she doesn't "have time" for a blog. Thanks for your prayers. I've been keeping pretty busy. Love, Diane

Thanks Lori B for your comment. I was having trouble with blogger this morning as it wouldn't show my "COMMENT" icon. I think I have it working...we'll see if it stays up. I went ahead and copied your comment here... thanks!! Diane

I couldn't comment to your above post.

Wish your daughter Happy Birthday.

It was fun to see pictures of her growing up.
I love the second one of her sitting amongst the flowers. That is so cute!
She is a beautiful gal.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for visiting me. I'm sorry you couldn't see my pictures, but I think it's a "blogger thing" (they were there and then disappeared)
I've just spent a delightful few minutes browsing through your site. What a wonderful family you have!
Happy Birthday (belated) to your beautiful daughter.
I've bookmarked your site to return.
:)

What a beautiful daughter. Isn't it wonderful that she has chosen and settled well? What a testimony to you and your husband ... and our Lord.
