May 23 was Anna's 18th birthday!
Yes folks, I have now officially joined the ranks of women with adult CHILDREN!!!! (as in multiple, not single! How did I get so "old"?)
We started the day with crepes for breakfast, and then Craig and I took her on a special date. First, we went to the mall and did a little shopping. Then, on to our favorite restaurant, La Fermata. We brought Naomi here for her 18th a year and a half ago. This is becoming a lovely tradition!! With 18 long-stem red roses awaiting her, we had an amazing meal! Dessert was a delicious creme brûlée, complete with candles!
I am so blessed to have TWO adult daughters whom I count as two of my dearest friends!!

Happy birthday!!! You've been such a blessing and inspiration to so many of us. I pray that the Lord uses you in many lives, as I know He already has. Thank you for your example of trusting in Christ through your struggle with leukemia! It was and still is a great encouragement and challenge to me.
