Happy 1st Birthday, Calissa!
Our youngest child turned one today. Today is doubly special because it is also our sixth wedding anniversary. I still remember the time in the hospital trying to give birth to Calissa while looking at a huge clock right in front of me. I only had several minutes left to have her on our anniversary and she managed to come into the world with just four minutes to spare! She was born on May 19, 2006 at 11:56 pm. She was indeed a special anniversary gift, and continues to be so!
Among our four children, Calissa is by far the most sweet-tempered child. She’s amazingly contented and calm. While all of our other children were crawling and/or standing by their first birthday, she seems more than happy to sit on the floor and watch all the action in the house (plenty of it!). She is also probably the most unequivocally loved child in our house: all three of her siblings love her without reserve and adore giving her kisses and hugs.
We are so blessed to have Calissa in our lives. Here are a couple of photos from today’s small family birthday celebration!

Leave a commentHappy birthday! And Happy Anniversary!
I just discovered your blog — listed on the sidebar of another newly-discovered blog. I’m interested in your thoughts about Sacred Parenting. My husband and I read Sacred Marriage and found it to be excellent!
We also loved another book you’ve listed: Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands.
Looking forward to continued blessings through reading your blog…
She is a doll! Happy belated birthday Calissa and happy belated anniversary!
Our Molly has much the same temperament (our 5th) except she does want to go!
Happy Birthday, “Shannon O’Ding”, “Shaniqua”, “CJ”, and one of the cutest babies around!
Ukrainiac,
Glad that you found our blog. As for “Sacred Parenting” review, I’m in the process of writing it. I finished the book a while back but never got to finish writing the review. Thanks for the reminder.
