For a little over a year Lydia has been acting like a teenager and now she has officially stepped into that time of her life. She had a party with a couple of her friends.
Lydia chose pulled pork BBQ and homemade cheesy onion rolls for her birthday party. The rolls were hot out of the oven for lunch...oh yum!! When I saw this picture I REALLY saw her daddy in her face. She is becoming a young lady her father would be proud of.
Lydia made Maia a birthday party hat and made her wear it for the party.
Lydia wanted to decorate cakes with her friends. She made the cakes and then crumb coated them with buttercream frosting. I made marshmallow fondant (MUCH better than the store bought stuff) and they colored, rolled and decorated. The creative juices were running strong.
Lydia with her cake. It just dawned on me that she is much like the butterflies depicted on the cake. She has grown into a beautiful young lady and she is starting to stretch her wings. One day she will fly from home and hopefully into a life that honors the Lord. I am praying for the wonderful, godly young man who will come into her life.

Lydia has a good role model to follow in her mother. She also has a role model as to what to look for in a husband from her father.
Great to see this. I agree with Becky. What a role model you are, Dana. God bless your family. Rena
Hi Dana,
I was poking around while doing some work on the CHEO Blog and saw your blog pop up in Google. What a beautiful family and testimony you have! I was blessed reading a bit about your journey and pray the Lord's continued blessing on your family.
