My sweet Jubilee was born ten years ago exactly one week before Thanksgiving (though her birthday was on a Tuesday this year). She was our seventh child, born in our seventh year of marriage at exactly seven pm weighing in at exactly seven pounds! She was born with a head full of dark hair and one dimple. Such a sweet blessing to our family.
And she was born seven weeks after Mordecai joined our family through adoption.

Talk, Personality
Smile, Personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality . . . .
He’s a fighter. Happy Thanksgiving!!
