Haley accepted Christ as a young girl, and her heart has remained steadfast in her Christian Devotion.

Haley is a magnificent dancer. 

Through out her life, she has mesmerized the audience in her dance recitals. 

It causes my soul to soar when I watch her perform.  

What else can I say?  Haley is simply lovely!

My sister and brother-in-law could not be prouder grandparents. 

(Because my brother-in-law is from Switzerland, the children call them "Opa" and "Oma".) 

And as for me, I thank God every day for these amazing "gifts from God".  

Not every kid has a puppet for a cousin!
