  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RISSY!

    Here are some pictures of Rissy that Jesse and I found this morning.  

    My scanner no longer works the way it used to and this is the first time I've gotten pictures from my digital camera to the Internet.  Somehow I accomplished the task, but I'm not sure I could repeat "getting them out of my camera" if my life depended on it!!!  For those of you who do this all the time, I apologize for the lighting.  I feel such freedom after simply transferring them to the Internet, that lighting will have to be a lesson on another day!

    -----------------------------------------------

    This is Rissy on her first birthday.  Notice how TEENSY TINY she was back then?  The "professionals" told us she would never walk and IF she lived, she'd probably be a vegetable.  Lot's of prayer sure changed that!!!  Her oldest sister Stephanie, now 29yo, is hanging onto her for the birthday photo shoot!  Right after this photo, Rissy promptly threw up and continued with a stomach bug for another 4 days.  What a way to celebrate your first birthday!


    Rissy recovered from her birthday bug and had fun celebrating Easter 2002 with her first stuffed rabbit.  She was finally growing some hair, but still an itsy bitsy little thing.


    This was a Annamarie's birthday in March 2004 and one of my all time favorite pictures of Annamarie and Rissy.  In fact, the girls' have this photo framed in their bedroom.  Rissy had just turned 3yo.

    I think this is EVERYONE'S favorite of Rissy.  Taken in July of 2004.  Not only does it show her "creativity" with cupcake frosting, but also the fact she is an "EATER" and always has been!

    Emily took this next photo at the church ceremony, in January of this year, when Jesse and I renewed our vows.

     

    And finally, this is one of the Big Birthday Girl standing by my desk this morning.  I can't believe she is a whoppin' seven years old!

    HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY sweet, Rissy!  

    Tonight is her luau party.  Meanwhile, Jesse has taken the girls to pizza for lunch, will go play at McDonald's and have an ice cream cone there, go to pick up the birthday cake at the store, and come home to the birthday table I have (hopefully) decorated.  I'll get some pictures of that later on (now that I'm an "expert" digital camera uploader!).

  • What a sweetheart Rissy is. Thanks so much for messaging me to come see the pics.  I pray she has a wonderful Birthday.  Sorry I haven't had a chance to do your TAG or update since Saturday.   Thank you for asking about my dad.  He is doing better, however, he has a vascular surgeon appointment tomorrow to see if he needs surgery as his has such bad circulation in his lower leg and foot of the leg where the wound is.  I'll let you know how that goes.  Blesings for a fun Luau!  Jill
