Its Mrs Sherwood's birthday today!!!

Im really not sure how many great events one mother can stand in a 30 day period...but I've sure had my fair share!! Im not complaining...no way...but lately its been feast or famine around here. (Im a little worried about the boring fall season.) A wedding, birthdays, anniversaries, farewells and homecomings...all of which are great and blessed events. As was this day, 24 years ago, when our dear daughter came into our lives. (Random piece of Anna trivia....did you know that Annas/my midwife was later convicted and jailed for conspiring to having her husband murdered!!!??? Crazy huh!!!!)
Anyway.. Anna felt like a gift from heaven then, and she HAS BEEN a gift from heaven every day since!!!
I love you dear daughter!!!
Your joy is my joy!!!
How grateful I am for your examplary life and for your goodness and sweetness through and through!!!
