Becca Is Three Today!






I cannot believe that our Becca turned three today! It seems like only yesterday we found out that we were going to be a mommy and a daddy. We were elated when we found out that it was a girl. We could not wait to give her the name Rebecca Marie Ake. Rebecca for her great grandmother on her daddy’s side and Marie for her great grandmother on her mommy’s side and for her mommy.

Our precious angle so sweet and easy to care for became a big sister at the tender age of 15 months old. She immediately stepped up to the challenge of being a special needs sibling. Becca is a complacent, cautions, patient, caring, helpful, eager to please, imaginative, funny, and joyful member of our family. The Lord knew the extra challenges she would face as Lizzie’s big sister, and she continually impresses me everyday with her willingness to help mommy and the nurses and to encourage and love on her little sister. We are so very blessed to have Becca as our child. Happy birthday big girl! We love you so very much!
