Happy Birthday Julia!

Julia means divinely youthful

Julia is my niece, daughter of Shana and Duane (my brother) and she is one today!  Last year I started a myfamily.com blog for my siblings.  A way for us to stay connected.  Duane posted some pictures of Julia right after she was born.   A beautiful picture was there of him holding his baby girl.  I had been on a kick of doing decoupage tiles at the time.    When I looked at this picture of Duane I saw the incredible wonder, the miracle of having a new born baby-- a child of your flesh and blood-- a spirit of our Heavenly Father; a moment of holding all that you believe  in your arms. This is what I came up with.  Heaven... I looked at my daughter and I believe. 

Happy Birthday Julia.  I wish I could see you blowing out your candle and eating your cake.   Tell your Mom and Dad that if they send me a picture of you blowing out that candle or eating your cake I will add it to your birthday post!   Love you little sweet one,  Aunt Karalene
