HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY, MAZY!

🎉 HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY Mazy Grace 🎉! It has been quite the past year for you, my sweet girl! You have been through so much in your 11 years of life. Visiting Mom in the hospital and seeing things no kid should see, helping Mom recover from cancer and heart failure, saying goodbye to loved ones, courageously going to counseling, humbly admitting when anxiety rises, ferociously trying to face your fears, and yet caring with compassion, emphatically encouraging others, and loving relentlessly. These pictures depict your love expressed for life and dogs. And sadly you had to say goodbye to your best furry friend this past year. But like you always do, you continue to find joy in life! Finally, your faith has FLOURISHED. You live out what you believe with confidence and your heart breaks so easily for those who hurt. God gave you a heart that weeps with those who weep. Your desire to make everyone feel welcomed and loved is evident in your daily life. We love you, sweet Mazy Grace!

    What a beautiful weekend it was in West Michigan! There was so much sun that by Sunday, when it rained all day, we were okay with it because our pale Dutch skin had seen enough sun for a bit! I haven’t dusted our house in weeks, though I feel this past week we weren’t in…

    Our hearts are SO FULL. One of the best weeks EVER. This week has been filled with so much joy. I told Dan last night as once again, I couldn’t fall asleep, that my heart is just so full. Yesterday, I was driving to town and I said to myself “alright, lets go babester”! Laugh all…
