A Treasured Heritage

A love note and precious gift from baby Edith's namesake, Aunt Edith, on her dedication day. I hope one day she will grown up to be just like her.

My precious Edith Lane,

What a wonderful day this is! That you should be dedicated to our Lord is most exciting and special. I pray that you will live a long, happy and healthy life. You must know how very much your great aunt Edith loves you. On the day you were born, your parents surprised me in telling me your beautiful name. How thrilled I am to share a name with you! Edith means "God's gift" or "Rich gift" and you certainly are God's gift to our entire family and especially me. I was named after Grandcharles Foster's grandmother who was very important to my father. I hear she was an outstanding lady! I pray we will always have a special bond because of our name and that we both honor and glorify the Lord with our lives and that others will see His good work in us. May you know His richest blessings all your sweet life. This silver baby cross was mine and I want you to have it and enjoy!

All my love ~ Edith Markham Foster Lyon

My lil' Ladies

The BIG 3-0!

Thanks to all my incredible family and friends for making my 30th Birthday a very special one. And thanks to a wonderful husband who outdid himself this year. He got me an iPad, someone to clean our house (HUGE) and threw me a surprise party with some of my besties!! Not to shabby buddy. Good job :) Can't believe I am thirty...its half way to 60 as my lil' bro said. But I am truly blessed with everything and everyone in my life. Cheers to 30 more wonderful years!

AND thanks to Cameron for the ever hilarious present of two African Dwarf Frogs in honor of me bringing "random animals" home my whole life. Eli the pot belly pig may you rest in peace. Two more mouths to feed. Awesome. but Hazel thinks "Chuck & Norris" the frogs are the coolest thing ever. Thank you all for the amazing gifts you gave me...especially the ones I do not have to feed.
