Lily is SIX!!!

Our precious baby girl is now six years old!!  How time flies!  Lily keeps us laughing daily.  Her humor and wittiness is unbelievable for her age.  Lily is our girlie girl.  She loves doing her hair, having her nails done, and dressing up.  She's a great student and loves books.  She loves having five other people in the house that can read to her.  Now, she's starting to read on her own...it's incredible! 
Lily is a great skater and played her first year of hockey this year at the rink where her siblings play.  She also started tennis lessons this summer and is loving it!  

Each year as Lily's birthday comes around, it's hard not to think of how her life started.   When she was only four days old we had to bring her back to the hospital.  She had a fever of 102 degrees.  The doctors were never really sure of what caused her to be sick, concluding that it was some sort of virus.  She had to have a spinal tap to rule out meningitis which was awful to endure as parents.  She needed oxygen tubes, as well as a heart rate monitor and breathing monitor.  It was the longest week of our life!  She is now a healthy little girl and we are so thankful to God for her!!
She brings us smiles everyday and is such a beautiful, loving, snuggling girl!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!!!
