Bethi is eight years old! It doesn't seem that long since Tori and I ran into the kitchen to find our Aunt jumping up and down telling us that our little sister was here, haha :)...
It has been a delight to be with Bethi, laughing with her, talking with her, learning things together, helping her with her craft projects, and watching her grow this past year :). She has taken a great interest in helping the little ones at the orphanage in Pleven, Bulgaria, and it has been precious to see her enthusiasm in making items to donate to help bring them home :). She has also enjoyed getting to play the role of "big sister" to Peter in different ways then she was able to when Emmi was a baby, as she was older when Peter was born :). She has grown in the Lord, and her comments often bring us a smile :). She told us a couple months ago that "God is like a vase of flowers, because he holds all of us, and we are the flowers!", which I thought was a wonderful analogy :).
I am so blessed to have each and every one of my siblings, and today I am so thankful to take a pause in our lives and praise God for all that he has given us, especially, today, Bethi, a precious gift in our lives for eight years :).
Happy birthday, Bethi!!!
