Twelve Tomorrow






Happy Birthday Jillybean!

J is for Jillybean – the nickname Auntie Jana gave you (& it stuck for good)
I is for the independence you are beginning to embrace
L is for laughing when you race Daddy to bed every night
L is for the longing we have for you to know Jesus more and more each day
I is for insisting on perfection in everything you do
A is for attitude in a small package
N is for never giving up in field hockey even when the other girls are twice your size


…and because there is more to say…

C is for the calm and cautious way you meet new challenges
L is for lounging on the sofa ‘cause you are a tv junkie
A is for the A student you work so hard to be
I is for the incredible gift from God you are
R is for the ridiculous & silly times you have with Lisa, Hilary & all your friends
E is for the energy and life you bring into our lives

We are so glad that you belong to us. We love you!
