Jasmin’s First Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Jasmin!

A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. (John 16:21 NIV)

Ohhhh my how I get chills remembering Jasmin’s birth! Then I see her now and can’t believe it has been a year since that day!

What a beautiful blossoming flower!

I hope you enjoy seeing her growth month to month!!!

Not only do we celebrate our Jasmin flowers growth, but also her parents growth too! We have gracefully made it through this year without one gray hair! May God continue to bless this journey of parenthood and baby Jasmin’s life 🙂

To our loved ones I want to say thank you! Thank you to all who have been our “village” helping to raise Jasmin. Thanks to all the mommas and papas tips, gifts, and care. I want to give a special thanks to the ladies! My mommas out there who have been through it all and help me stay sane 😛

Message from daddy:

Happy Birthday Jasmin ! We love you – You are a blessing to us – This is not only Jasmin’s first year of life – but its me and Jenny’s first year of being parents – this idea is still sinking in for me – I am someone’s dad !! Amazing how having a child begins another step in our maturity – we get to see things in a whole new light – we appreciate our parents more – and we understand our Creator that much more as well – how to love and how we are loved – It has been a joy to love and care for Jasmin this first year – I only expect this to get better as she grows up becomes a young child, then a teenager, and then finally a grown adult – wow I cant even imagine what the future holds – Either way I am very grateful for this experience of my new family and I am grateful to everyone who has enjoyed Jasmin’s first year and helped us and cared for us as well. Happy Birthday Jasmin

I know many people want to give Jasmin gifts so for those who may want to add to her piggy bank we provide a “donate” button 🙂 Thank you!
