A SPECIAL Birthday CeleBration...

Melissa turns 9!!!

Anyone that is around Rance & I much will hear us often talk about David & Dana & their 4 children (The Thackers!).  We love them ALL so much.  We love living life with them in Robbinsville and more than anything, we love their hearts for the Lord, their obedience to being disciples & disciple-makers, and how they challenge us spiritually.

On Friday, their oldest daughter Melissa turned 9 years old.  She is so full of JOY and one of the most genuine children I have ever met.  She cares so deeply for others and she radiates such sweet love to all those around her.  Could that be because her parents have modeled this in front of her?  Without a doubt!  I am constantly in awe of the behavior of these 4 children and how they respond to their mom & dad.  It's quite beautiful. 

I was honored that I got to spend Friday evening with Dana & the kids celebrating Melissa's birthday at our local mexican restaurant.  We had so much fun!


Luke, Andrew, Melissa, Dana & Anna!

SILLY FACES!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE time with them!
The birthday girl is in the center :)

HAHAHAHA love each of their unique personalities!

I am so thankful for such a precious family, God ordained friendships, Melissa's sweet life, and lots of laughter on a Friday night!
