Missy



A minute after Mr. D was born, Missy came to this world. Thirteen years and four months ago.


For the first eight years of her life, she was the only girl (besides mama) in our family, surrounded by boys who loved noise, action, and wrestling. For about five of those years she kept asking for a little sister.


And so, on her eight birthday, we signed the adoption papers for Little Miss, in China, and her prayers were answered. {{Ours, too!}}


Missy is a wonderful big sister, and a sweet sweet daughter. She loves arts and crafts, reading, homeschooling, and time with friends. It has been so special to watch her grow into a teenager (where has the time gone??).

We are so impressed how talented you are, Missy, and can't wait to see how God is going use your gifts and your life for His Kingdom. We love you, Missy!

I am linking this post to Stefanie's Sunday Snapshot. Check her blog for more entries!

I used our Nikon D-80 to take the pics, and edited them using PicMonkey.

Missy on toiseksi vanhin nelosistamme. Hän syntyi kolmetoista vuotta ja neljä kuukautta sitten Mr. D:n jälkeen. Ensimmäiset kahdeksan vuotta hän oli ainoa tyttö kolmen veljeksen keskellä, ja pian hän alkoikin pyytämään pikkusiskoa. Kahdeksanvuotissynttäripäivänä, allekirjoitimme Pikkuneidin adoptiopaperit Kiinassa, ja Missyn rukoukseen vastattiin. (Meidän myös!)

Missy onkin ihana isosisko, ja suloinen tytär. Hän rakastaa käsitöitä ja taiteita, lukemista, kotikoulua, ja ystävien kanssa olemista. On ollut hienoa katsoa hänen kasvamistaan, nyt jo teiniksi! (Mihin aika on mennyt??) Jännittävää nähdä kuinka Jumala tulee käyttämään taitavaa tytärtämme Hänen Valtakuntansa työhön!
