"Happy Birthday JoVonne Janae!"

Today, January 20th, my little girl turned 18 and has now officially arrived at the threshold of Womanhood. The years have flown by on fleeting wings since she 1st came to bless our lives, which seems only a a few short years ago! Sometimes I wish she was still my baby girl !

A few 'stepping stones' in her life.....

First Sunday to Church

First trip to a Florida Beach (and eating it!) @ 10 1/2 mo.

2nd half of 1st grade on her 7th BD.

(I'm still looking for a Graduation picture)

Baptismal Day for our 2 youngest-04/13/08

Maid of Honor at sis's Wedding

Time goes on......

And now Prince-Charming has arrived (day before yesterday)

in this........

....and we all know what happens when he steals her heart....???

They actually had their 1st date on New Years Eve when she flew back to Missouri for his cousin's wedding....but no one took a picture   [even though I made a special dress for the wonderful occasion!]

This is how they spent today....but maybe not quite that high!

After they came home, they went out for a Dinner Date and then......

I always loved teddy bears and yes, my daughter does too!

Think this one's big enough? ......and then on to more gifts....

"Love does not consist of looking at each other, but of looking together in the same direction."

"The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you."

"To know God's will is life's greatest treasure...to do God's will is life's greatest pleasure."

So glad and thankful for you....Love you Bunches!
