Happy Birthday Baby!

Happy Birthday Lindsey. You have an amazing hubby who loves you to death and it is so apparent in everything he writes about you. You are one lucky girl to have a man who loves you so unconditionally and to have a supportive, caring family and one very beautiful daughter. Best wishes on this special day.
OK, you must be the sweetest (and funniest) husband ever! I don't comment much, but have been keeping up with your journey to your precious daugher. I am praying your family will be together soon.

Lindsay, I hope that despite your being our of the States and without your hubby (who obviously has a huge crush on you!!!) that you and Eliana have a wonderful birthday together. She probably doesn't know its your birthday, but I'm sure it will mean a lot to her one day that you spent your birthday being in Guatemala with her!!
Be blessed today, and know that you are loved and missed here.
