Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!
My beautiful, adorable daughter Elizabeth Ashley is 25 years old today.
She's my baby--my sons are almost 32 and almost 29.
Yes, it does make me feel kind of old--but it seems like just yesterday that she was born. They did have ultrasounds in those days :), but we chose not to find out her gender until she was born.
I adored my two boys, and I reassured everyone that I would be perfectly happy to welcome another little guy, but in my heart of hearts, I longed for a daughter.
When I heard the doctors and nurses say "It's a girl!" that was one of the happiest moments of my life! Finally, lace, ruffles, pink, girly things!
Elizabeth has brought us so much joy in these 25 years. My constant prayer is that God will continue to guide her life, and that she will continue to put him first.
I love you, Lizzy Boo!

Hello! So glad to meet another Illinois blogger! Your daughter is just beautiful and she does look like you. I would like to follow you, but I'm not sure about the networked blog thing-a-majig. Any tips?
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your nice comment about the "fraying" ruffled skirt :) I have a daughter named Elizabeth, too (15) and she's so very special to me (adopted from Romania at 15 mos.) Hugs ~ Mary

Hello! It's me again. I read today that Google friend is going kaput soon. That is why I added the linky. I don't know if that means we lose the followers we have and need to re-follow our favs or what. I'm new at all this!
Wow, I didn't know that about Google Friend Connect! Bummer. Not sure what I'll do about it!
She's so gorgeous and looks so much like you. A real beauty. Hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday together :)
OH, you have a clone of yourself, just adorable and what a sweet entry! Yes, there is something so special about having a daughter. Blessings!
