Juni will always hold a very special place in my heart as her birth was a much-needed very bright blessing during a dark season of my life. I was in the middle of my cancer battle, along with just having lost my precious daddy. If Juni had not been born that year, I would have marked 2015 down as the worst year of my life. But Juni's arrival rescued that year for me, the perfect God-given antidote to the heaviness in my heart, and a reminder of the inevitable circle of life as her birth helped fill the huge void of Dad's passing.

And each year God's gift of Juni keeps on giving!

She ALWAYS has one of her "stuffies" (stuffed animals) with her, no matter where she goes or what she's doing.

Some of her cousins came to her party to help celebrate!

Juni loves a pretty leopard-print...

...and unicorns!

A new video game...

One of her latest stuffy favorites are foxes...

What a beautiful child!

Make a wish...

...and may your wish come true!

What a fun day celebrating a special girl!

Juni turns eight.
