Amber Lynn - Yesterday and Today

Today is Amber's birthday!

Amber was our very first grandchild!  She's an important part of this large family.

And an important part of this smaller but still large family.

And a very important part of this beautiful family.

I wrote about Amber in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 and those posts tell you a lot about Amber through the years.  And the following pictures will show you how she's changed physically through the years.

But now I want to talk about current Amber and what's been going on in her life during the past year. Obviously, with 5 young children, she's been very busy.  And she's pregnant with that much anticipated 6th child.

Her sons started at a new school and Amber was their transportation to and from.

 And accompanied them on field trips and school picnics.

And before they found out Number 6 was on the way, they had a different new addition to the family.

And in the past year she's gotten even closer to her best friend Lacie.  And that dynamic changed when Lacie became a mom for the first time and Amber was able to be a  nearby support system for her which they both loved.  Here they are with Pokemon Go.

So it's been a busy, happy year for Amber taking care of a very busy household and all that goes with it.  But there's so much more to say about Amber.  She's smart, focused, patient, and kind;

Fun loving,

Hard working,

has a wonderful sense of humor,

and is completely devoted to her family.

And she's loyal, steadfast, and true to her extended family and friends.  Her happy disposition makes us all want to be with her all the time.  Amber is truly a treasure to our family and we all wish we could see more of her.  We're wishing her the happiest of birthdays and a year that surpasses all others in happiness and fulfillment.  So Happy Birthday, Sweet Amber!  We love you and could not be more proud of you.
