turned 17
on December 20, 2012!
This year we combined her
birthday with our
family Christmas celebration.
When we celebrate ---
there's lots of us ---
and lots of fun!
Jeshanah was born
number 6 in our line up
of children. But is every bit
as special as any of them.
She does not remember her olderbrother living in our home.
She often does not get her
"own day" to celebrate her birthday.
She has had to share her mom
and dad (gramma and grampa)
with varying numbers of
our 14 grandchildren.
But she is
"none the worse for the wear".
She use to play 'dress up' with all her
little nieces and nephews! Now she
helps them clean up their dress up mess!
They use to sing "Shanna's the Boss"
in fun. Now they have a
little more difficult time when
she really IS the boss of them!
Jeshanah loves to clean.
She often cooks supper for us
and does so many things around
the house for which I am
SO very thankful.
Here she is with her Gramma and
Grampa Peterson. She loves going

Here we are picking out hats for the
"Kentucky Derby". Yeah, we were
stuck in Corban, Kentucky for a few days.
And here Jeshanah is
"sunning" while we
wait for our van to be fixed.
Jeshanah enjoys
serving the LORD at
Story Book Lodge Christian Camp
during her summers.
I pray that she will always
have a desire to
serve the LORD
and to serve the saints!
Here she is with one of her brothers.The one she doesn't remember living at our house!
They are good buds now!
I'm pretty sure she knows
that all of her brothers would do
almost anything for her.
Here are some of her nieces and nephews.
Hiding.....for a surprise party for her.
I pray that Jeshanah will always
love the LORD with her whole
heart. That she will always
desire to honor and
obey the One who gave Himself for her.
and that she would always remember ...
"Charm is deceitful,
and beauty is vain,
BUT
a woman who fears the LORD
is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:30
I love you, Jeshanah,
and look forward to sharing
many wonderful times together.
