It is so amazing to think that it has been 7 years since the day that God brought Sara~Ashley Monroy (aka Siri) into our Family. I think she cried for the first two months of her life but after that she was delightful.... well except for those "terrible two's" which we dealt with appropriately and, well ....look at her now!!! A 7 year old little lady. Her birthday started out this morning with a fun surprise. We have been meaning to fix up her room for a while, you know, get some girly curtains and bed linens and such. So last night, after she went to sleep (she sleeps in Josiah's room) we put up new curtains and a bed ensemble and a new mosquito net canopy. When she got up this morning we took her into her room. She loved it!!!! I think I enjoyed the whole thing as much as she did. I also enjoyed the fact that I got everything at Clearance Sale Prices. The canopy was only $9.00 at Target, marked down from $29.00. Everything else was at Khols.
We are having a snow storm (more on that later) so our neighbors came by and the kids went sledding and played in the snow. They had lots of fun.
She also got a couple fun dresses, which she really needs, from Daddy and Josiah picked out a video game for her...Typical boy, but she liked it. He also got her a Snow Board. Thanks to everyone who called and e-mail and sent gifts to make her b-day so special. She had a great day. We invited a couple families over tomorrow night for a little Birthday Celebration, Monroy Family Style!
We are so thankful and praise God for our sweet girl. I remember when I was young and used to dream about having a little girl. She is everything I ever hoped for and more. We are so excited to experience her life unfolding before our eyes and pray that Our Father in Heaven gives us wisdom to raise her to be all that he has called her to.
