Happy Birthday Maria


Yesterday was Maria's 12Th birthday. I can't believe she is only one year away from being a teenager. Where has the time gone? I remember when she was born at only 4 lbs. 13 oz. what a great gift and miracle she was to us, and what a blessing it was to watch her grow to be so healthy.
I would have to say Maria has her own personality traits that make her special and make me love her so much. She is by far the most quiet of all my kids. She is always very helpful and and very neat. She likes to have a place for everything and everything in its place. Even when she was little she was constantly wanting to weed out her toys and keep them to the bare minimum to avoid the constant mess. She quite often will offer to help me in the kitchen with dinner, or with extra chores around the house, and she always puts a good effort into the work she does. Maria is very giving and thinks of others before her self. All of my children have traits that make them special and make them who they are, and each one is such a blessing to me.
Happy Birthday Maria! Thanks for being such a good girl and for all the help and joy you are to me. I love You!
