Metamorphosis - Baby to Bride

She was born on a sunny day in a small hospital on the edge of the Amazon jungle. Here she is, just a few hours old. Good friends came by with a chocolate pie and we had a little party to welcome our third child into the world. I guess we laughed too loudly because a nurse came and told us to quiet down.


And here she is, all grown up, 24 years later, with her brand-new husband.

Happiest of birthdays to our beautiful daughter. You've enriched our lives, added to our joy, and we thank God for you!

Maggie of Normandy Life suggested that I link this post to Metamorphosis Monday - where posts involve an alteration of some sort - usually a craft project. Instead, this metamorphosis features the change from baby to bride!

  3. Hi Lorrie,

    Happy birthday to sweet Ashley.
    You look the same as you did 24 years ago. What is the secret? I am trying to catch up on reading my fav's. The dress you made for the wedding is stunning.
    Your daughter and her hubby make a fantastic couple. She is simply radiant.

    Big hugs from your often absent friend,
    Barb

  4. Oh Lorrie there is no greater joy in the heart of a mother than to see her beautiful little girl grow up into such a stunning young lady. You can be proud and call your life a success because your children have made a fine way in this world. God's blessings on all of you...
    Victorially, Karla

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.
