ALYSSA!!!!! Happy 24th Birthday!

I can only go back with my digital photos as far as November of 2004There have been a number of changes in Lyssa's life in the past 5 years...

She went from being a 19 year old single big sister of 4 in 2004...

Partying here at home with the sibs. She got to talk to Logan on the phone.

To being the 20 year old fiancee of one,

We took them to breakfast at The Cadilac Cafe.



In 2006 she became the 21 year old wife of a soldier.
We missed celebrating with her that year.



2007 saw her as a 22 year old new mommy.

Rowan's first bath at Gramma's house.

In 2008, at 23 years old, she got tools to further her domesticity

She planted lovely spring flowers that bloomed in her yard this year.

These were taken this past weekend for Rowan's 2nd birthday...

Lyssa is a great mom for Rowan.

The year ahead looks to be filled with more adventure.... being the 24 year old mom of two!

She has been and continues to be "Our Sunshine".

I don't think is was an accident that we gave her the middle name of "Dawn"

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

May God continue to bless you and be your Strength in all that you do in the year to come.

Love you!
