Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or
tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.

23 yrs ago...in the distant land of Oregon, a lovely, gentle child was placed in our care....

I LOVED this little birth announcement that my Builder just whipped up all those years ago...to tell our friends and family that we had a little girl to love and cherish!! (we were growing hydroponic lettuce in a commercial greenhouse while living in So. Oregon ...thus the 'seedling' pun.)

Angelic girls are a gift and a blessing!!
These two always have been!!

Now just look at her!! My heart swells with joy and gratitude for this sweet blessing in our lives. May you find all the happiness and fulfillment that you so richly deserve my love!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! (We wish we could be there to eat cake and party!!!!...dont you think Chili's Restaurant would be fun???)
