Happy Birthday, Laura!
Today Laura is thirteen years old. In some ways it seems so long ago, but in other ways it’s been just the blink of an eye. When I look at Amelia and Lillian, I see what Laura used to look like. But when I look at Laura now, I can’t remember her any other way. She is a special girl and a special child, since she is our firstborn. She is helpful and capable in so many ways. I can’t imagine life without Laura!
I rely on Laura to be my second set of eyes. I rely on Laura to be my fashion advisor and my house decorating consultant. She takes good care of her baby sister, she is adored by her middle sister, and she tolerates her brothers more than I even understand.
Since I know Laura will read this, I’ll say it here in the presence of witnesses…
I LOVE YOU, LAURA!

I am so glad to be living close by so I can watch and see how God is making you into the woman He wants to see.
I love you!

Laura Lee…
I remember when you were born and how you and your Mom & Dad stayed with us for a week or so afterward.
I remember going “house shopping” with your Mom and Dad when you were still a tiny baby.
Now, you and your mom have a strong bond of friendship with each other…kind of like your mom and I have with each other, since she was my firstborn. Like you, she was always a tremendous help and I depended on her for so many things.
God bless & keep you always close to Him!

Dear Laura,
happy 13th birthday to you, lovely and beautiful girl! Although we have never met (yet), I know a lot about you from the stories by your mom.
I hope you have a nice day with your parents and siblings and the rest of your loving family with some Dutch birthday wishes from us!
love,
Karin, Michiel

Hey Lady Laura,
It’s been a pleasure getting to know you though FPU and scrapbooking times. You’re a sweet lady and I can’t wait to see how Christ uses you to reach many more people for His Kingdom.
Love ya,
Becky
