"Thursday's Child has Far to Go"

    

Anna Rose Aldridge

Welcome to sweet Anna Rose who decided to
arrive just in time! Mommy and gigi
had plans of our own and
Anna was in complete compliance.
She made her appearance the morning
after I arrived in Pensacola at 9:01 AM on
Thursday, August 24, 2017.
Anna is our tenth baby grand which gives
us five precious girls made of sugar and spice and
everything nice
and five precious boys made of
snakes and snails and puppy dog tails!
She is the thirty-second great-grandchild for
Nanny and Papa!

*****

Anna, Kate has prayed for a little sister and you

are the sweet answer to her prayer! May God always hold

you in his everlasting hands!

Thursday's Child has far to go.....
And Oh, the places you will go!

"Indelible Blessing"

   

"The Lord bless you and keep you;

the Lord make his face to shine upon you;

the Lord lift up his countenance 

upon you and give you peace."

Numbers 6:24-26

A simple blessing leaves a beautiful, 

indelible (and sometimes chocolaty) mark on

us, our hearts and our spirits.

Tracing the sign of the cross on someone's forehead...

in this beautiful yet simple gesture, it's
God the Father that we
call upon to bring his immediate blessing
into the life of another.
How fitting and appropriate to share this heavenly gift.
God Bless You

"Andrew's First Holy Communion"

  
"For God so loved 'Andrew' that he sent His
only begotten Son...that he may
have eternal life."

Congratulations Andrew!
Always allow God to guide
your every step! He will be
your light to show you the way!

We love you ahats Andrew!

P.S. Andrew, I love it that my John 3;16 bracelet
from you is in these pictures. But more than that
I treasure the opportunity that you gave me to
show you how to look up this beautiful verse in
the Bible. I will always hold the memory
close to my heart!
Love,
gigi
