My precious little Ashley Noelle turned 7 years old on Sunday, December 28th! I was planning on writing a special post for my little sweetie with pictures on her special day BUT......Mommy has been very sick with strep throat! I spent my Ashley's whole birthday on the couch with a high fever & a near excruciating sore throat! The best I could manage was whisper-singing "Happy Birthday" that morning & whisper-singing her special "Birthday Girl" song that Mommy made up & sings to all of our girls on their birthdays that night. I already had the entire dining room decorated the day before & Daddy came to the rescue by letting Ashley help him make Belgian waffles with whipped cream (one of Ashy's favorites!) for dinner with candles on top & we all sang to her! She was SO amazingly sweet & compassionate to Mommy! I felt SO sad that I couldn't make her birthday more special like I wanted to & I kept apologizing to her all day! She never complained & she just kept saying how sad she was that I was sick. She just wanted to sit with me & love on me ~ so typical of my Ashley's nurturing & compassionate heart! : ) (& my other girlies too : )!) After a visit to the doctor, a positive strep test, lots of sleeping, (thank you Daddy, Amy, Ashley & Abby for taking care of our little Ava for Mommy!) & 4 Amoxicillin's later, I'm feeling a smidge better today. I am going to have a "re-Birthday" for my sweet Ashley later this week as a surprise to her! SHHHH : ) ! I am still going to write Ashley's 7th birthday post with pictures as soon as I can. I just didn't want too much time to pass before I acknowledge what a precious gift my little Ashley is to Mommy, Daddy & her 3 sissies! God was so kind & good to give me my little compassionate, nurturing, servant-hearted, fashion forward, funny baby girl! Happy 7th Birthday my little Ashley Noellie, I love you with ALL my heart! You are so precious to us & we thank Jesus every day for you baby! : )
