Cana's Day

Two blog posts in a row about birthdays!!  Good thing I love birthdays (except for the birthday song!).  October 21st came and went without me actually sitting down to blog about one of my most favorite birthdays ever--the day that we celebrate the birth of Cana Elizabeth Turner!  ELEVEN years ago, at about 2 something in the afternoon, I gave birth to my first miracle...the miracle of Cana.  It was love at first sight, and I often tell people that the reason I decided to keep having more and more babies was because my experience with Cana's pregnancy and birth was so incredible!  Eleven years later, I would say the same about life with Cana...it is INCREDIBLE!  She is a wonderful daughter who has the purest heart I've ever seen.  She radiates with beauty from the inside out and is a great leader for her siblings. Its hard for me to believe that eleven years have passed.  While I remember her infancy and childhood years with fondness, I am so excited to see what the upcoming years will bring.  I love watching Cana become a young woman who loves friends and family, laughs easily, gets lost in books, runs to answer the phone, studies hair styles and wedding gowns, and nurtures her baby brother.  She brings such joy to me.  Happy Birthday Cana Beth!
