Josh and Jenna are eighteen today and it happened so fast.
They are everything I ever hoped for when I prayed for children so long ago...beautiful in spirit, joyful (look at those beautiful smiles!), they give of themselves, minister to the needs of the family...I could go on and on, but I saved that for a personal note to each of them this morning.
I remember so many times when I was a new momma, and (well meaning?) strangers would offer words of warning about the "teen" years. Never listening, I purposed instead that we would welcome those years, and I can honestly say that I have LOVED these years. Giving all the credit and thanks to my God, we have enjoyed the beauty of friendship, laughter, and most importantly, hearts knit with their Father. Oh, we've had growing pains, but there has never been rebellion, deception (minus that piece of asparagus years ago) or rage so often associated with these years. I am one grateful momma today, and to my kiddos...
Happy Birthday...I love you with my whole heart!
If you have a minute, say happy birthday to Josh and Jenna

What a blessing! Give my birthday wishes to Jenna and Josh for me!
It has been such a blessing getting to know sweet Jenna, and can see the light of Jesus shining through her sweet notes and e-mails and it has been so very delightful to have a sweet sister in Christ!
I pray that they would continue to walk in His ways and as they continue to grow, would constantly stand firm in their faith by God's grace, and become the men and women of God HE has called them to be!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU TWO! :)

Awesome pictures!!! My nephew just turned 18 on Thursday as well. Time sure flies!
What a beautiful family the Lord has blessed you and your husband with Mrs. Regan. That's a wonderful testimony that you didn't have to go through the trauma of difficult teen years. Instead the Lord have given you bountiful gifts in your children.
Happy Birthday Josh and Jenna!
