One....Happy Birthday Baby Claire

I am one today! Claire is 1 year today. I have so many things I want to say, Claire has been such a joy to our lives. She is the most outgoing, determined, ambitious little person I have ever met. She is has such beautiful eyes and a smile that melts your heart. This last couple of weeks she has stopped crawling completely and nods her head yes as well as getting two more teeth. Thank you everyone for all the cards that have been pouring in, we feel such love from all of you for our daughter.



This is from Claire's Grandma Hein (my Mom) and I thought I would share it with you.

Dear Baby Claire,

We can’t be with you today baby Claire, but are with you in our hearts. You have been on our minds all day. We are so grateful to God for sending you to us. You are such a bright, funny, happy and sweet little girl. You have had such a wonderful little personality from such an early age. You have always seemed to love us too! You seem to know how much we love you and how much we want to be with you. You are so happy and content and self assured in your safe little protected world with a Mommy and Daddy who love you more than life itself. You are blessed to have them and they are blessed to have you. We are blessed to have all three of you in our family and in our lives. I believe you will be a strong person like your parents. You will always be loving like you are now and will always have a thankful heart. You will have enough drive to accomplish whatever you desire with God’s help and will have a great impact on all those around you. Your life has been blessed from the moment you were conceived and I believe you will understand this and move through life with this wonderful knowledge bringing joy wherever you go and to whomever you touch. I look forward to watching you make your dreams come true and make all of us who love you – so proud. Happy Birthday Baby Claire. All our love goes out to you today as you turn one year old!

My prayer and verse for you today and for the rest of your life.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you and enlighten you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:25-26

Love,
Grandma Hein

How sweet! I had forgotten that Claire shares a b-day with our little Isaac (Jene's) who turned 3 yesterday.
