HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMANDA-DEAR!! I love you DEARLY and I thank you for your faithful companionship and for your compassionate and loving spirit. I don't know what I'd do without you, Manda! I LOVE YOU!! Happy Birthday, dearie!
Her respect for Dad and willingness to serve him in any way is a lovely example.
She is compassionate and gentle, and has a sweet love for God and her family
Amanda is always a wonderful companion, confidant, sister, friend, encourager, etc. She is a huge blessing in so many ways.
She is so tuned in with the needs of others, and when the little ones want to play tea party or other things, she loves to be there for them.
Amanda is so dependable. Her diligence every single day is shown through her self-sacrificial deeds in our family. You will often find Amanda working in the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for our whole family!
Amanda, I love you and am so thankful that you are my sister. You are a gift from God and I can't wait to see what the LORD has planned for your future as we continue to "grow up" together! I LOVE YOU, Amanda!~Dani
Happy belated Birthday, Amanda! I pray the Lord blesses you abundantly and keeps you in the palm of His hand this year. *hugs*

Happy Birthday, Amanda!
ReplyDeleteI love the jumpers-- may I ask what pattern you girls used?
I will let Amanda respond to the comments, but I wanted to answer your question, Shiloh. :) The pattern number we use for our jumpers is McCall's 3129. It is quite simple once you make the first one and get a feel for the pattern. They were enjoyable to sew. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ladies, for your comments!
Blessings,
~Dani
