Amy Turned 5!

Dear friend,

As hard as it is for us to believe, Amy turned 5 and Haley will be 18 months old tomorrow. They do grow up too fast. To be fair, we’ve been warned by many parents. 🙂 One day you go home from the hospital with them, and soon enough they teach you new things. Amy knows more about a lot of animals (thank you Wild Kratts) than I do. It amazes me how much knowledge they have even at this age. So much potential!

Amy and Haley are very good sisters. Chris and I are so glad to have them as our children.

Amy loves to be with her friends, play pretend, and loves to learn. She has a gentle spirit, and gets emotional easily.

Haley loves books and she prefers to play with someone as opposed to by herself. Nonetheless, she is pretty good at entertaining herself when needed.

It’s neat to see how different they are (inside and out), although they have the same parents. We are all different. We are all special in our own way.

I am so glad that God loves us just the way we are. Some of us are serious, some of us are goofy, some of us are little bit this and little bit that. Some like to be outdoors, others enjoy indoors more. Some of us like to party, others like to be by themselves. There’s nothing wrong with either. Each person and personality has its values, and the fact that we are all different makes life so much more fun.

God is an amazing Creator! There’s no one like Him. When I read the Bible, the Word of God, I am able to get to know Him better, and understand who I am in His eyes. He wants me to have a relationship with Him. A personal relationship. I am His child, and He is my Father. What an intimate relationship, indeed!

I am so glad that our children have the chance to hear about God as they grow up. Amy was shocked to learn that not everyone believes in God. 🙂 I cannot wait to see what God has in store for her and Haley. It is exciting to see your children grow in their faith. May they never stop growing in their walk with God.

The James family

Happy Birthday, Amy!
