YIPEE, Look Who's THREE...

Happy Birthday, Faith Michelle!!!

Here's THREE things we love about FAITH:

1. Her desire to please and her sweet disposition

2. Her contagious smile and laugh

3. Her love and benevolence to everyone, which is a constant reminder of God's love for us.

~We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

Some interesting facts about January 13th:

~Faith shares her birthday with her Great Grandfather, John Castaldi (RIP).

~Faith also shares a birthday with Patrick Dempsey and Orlando Bloom.

~George Washington added two stars on the American Flag on January 13, 1794, when Kentucky and Vermont joined the Union.

~Michael Jordan retires for a second time on January 13, 1999.

~Television sets are installed in three homes on January 13, 1928.



Each year we sit down and write Faith a letter (and Jaxon, too), when it's close to their birthdays. Twenty-one days before they turn twenty-one, we plan on mailing out each letter to them. Of course the last letter for their twenty-first birthday comes to them on the big day! I thought it would be a gift they would truly treasure one day. I stole this idea from Once Upon a Family. Below is the unprinted version of this year's letter.


Can't Believe She's THREE!!!


Here she is at TWO years old...(Cheetah/Zebra Themed Party)

And, here she is at ONE year old...(Ladybug Party)

Birthday Breakfast this morning...Cinnamon Rolls with THREE candles blown out!

You my dear one, are a blessing, not only on your birthday, but every day God lets us share with you! We Love You, Faith! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
