Those of you who have read our blog for awhile can probably remember back to lots of different birthday posts I've written over the years. You might even think that all I've said surely can't be true - no girls could be so perfect. But I am truly blessed beyond measure by these daughters of mine.
Today I am especially thankful for Achaia - my second born daughter. She is so dear and precious to me. When I was expecting her, I sincerely hoped she'd be another girl... and how delighted I was twenty-five years ago today. And I am still delighted. Achaia is so organized! She's efficient and handy. No one in the family can hold a candle to Achaia when it comes to needlework - cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint - you name it. But what would any of that matter if she didn't love and serve Jesus Christ? Achaia is joyful and has a servant's heart. Awesome? You bet she is! And I love her with all my heart.
XOXO Happy birthday, Achaia!
Love, Mommy
Okay, so now that we've read what Mom had to say, we're all trying to sniff up the tears. But of course we have to tell our favorite Kay that we hope she has a wonderful birthday! Because we are pretty crazy about her. It's funny how one person can take up so much room in our hearts. Maybe it's because we love her so much.
Happy birthday, Achaia! We've always got your back.
XOXO
Phi, Abs, and Bi
What a lovely family you are!! Happy Birthday!

And what is worse, I spelled your name wrong! I am so sorry Achaia!

I know I'm quite late, but I wanted to write and tell you happy birthday, Achaia! :) I hope you had a wonderful day, and I hope you have a very blessed new year, filled with growth in the Father and strength and joy in Him for each new day.
In His love,
~Martha Joy
