Nine years ago today we anxiously awaited the arrival of our first baby. We did not know if we were going to be blessed with a son or a daughter. As Melanie was enjoying her medication a little too much and not benefiting at all from the epidural, we waited as our baby was being born without the doctor being there.
The doctor finally arrived just as Ashlyn was being born. We were so excited when the doctor told us we were blessed with a healthy baby girl. She had dark hair and chubby little rolls.
Ashlyn has been such a blessing and it has been an honor to watch her grow into the beautiful young lady she is. She is so smart and so pretty. She loves her brothers and loves teaching them. I look forward, Ashlyn, to watching your continued growth into a beautiful Christian woman. I love you.
