Happiest of Birthdays, Sophie!

Dec 24, 2016Family Uncaged

Normally I wax poetic about my child on a birthday, but this year I decided to share a photo essay with you. This year, my daughter Sophie and I had the privilege of traveling to Switzerland and Germany. She came as my assistant, and taught writers in Geneva, and helped me as I spoke in Germany at a women’s retreat. We had an amazing time. She is generous, smart, and wholly dedicated to Jesus. We had great conversations, and sometimes we got on each other’s nerves. But most of all, we traveled well together.

This is Sophie’s golden birthday, meaning she is twenty-four years old on the 24th of the month. Hooray! Happy golden birthday, my dear Sophie!
