Mercy's birthday was on a Sunday this year...I think everyone she came in contact with at church knew it was her special day as she announced the news to anyone who would listen! Miss BAA and both sets of grandparents joined us in celebrating later in the afternoon. Due to the busyness and noise around the dinner table, we didn't have a chance to share what we each appreciated about Mercy...no worries, she reminded us the next night that we had forgotten our special birthday tradition and waited with eyes closed and hands folded for the accolades to flow!! (Actually, I was going to make sure we did this before she 'reminded' us!) Mercy has grown and changed in so many ways since her homecoming almost 2 years ago. She has quite a generous heart and is often making crafts or pictures for family members or friends. She also keeps things interesting in our busy home--there is never a dull moment with Mercy around :) It is hard to remember life before the Lord blessed us with our spicy Liberian girl!!
Happy 7th birthday, Mercy~
We love you!!!
