*Updated with Winner* Congrats to reader Sara (findinghisjoy@gmail.com)!
You march to the beat of your own {pink} boots:
I started this blog when you were 8 months old. Since then…
- you’ve been baptized by your sister
- you’ve been a Courtney Love look-alike
- you’ve survived the terrible two’s
- you’ve super-glued your lips closed
- you’ve taught your Momma how to live
Oh and you don’t mind getting your way:
Today, you are 4. You are ours.
(And yes, you still have to take naps, but not today).
Happy Birthday, *Pocket Change!
*nickname given to her by her Daddy the night she was born, 8 weeks too early and just the size of pocket change. You can read her birth story, Her Name is Grace Because He is Amazing.
To celebrate, I’m giving this lovely DaySpring piece away today:

Happy Birthday!
Oh E. Grace! Happy Happy Birthday!
Both of my given names mean grace.. and I am not a physically graceful person. I have a disability that makes me walk awkwardly; and my hands are weak and fumbly… No one would look at me and think ‘Ah, graceful.’ Unless…. they knew my story and my life…. so full, so full of God’s good grace. His undeserved favour, His magnificent compassion, His relentless mercy, His unfailing love, His grace, His grace, His grace! I love the idea of grace, the study of grace, the giving of grace, and especially the receiving of His grace in my life – when I most need it (every day.)
I even named my little pup Grace and I tell everyone it’s because I want all the grace I can get in my life.
Joy to you and yours today E. Grace Welch as you all celebrate 4 full years together! We are so glad you were born!
Happy Birthday Grace ! My daughters name is Grace too and she is 5. Hope your birthday is awesome!
Gorgeous piece…she’ll treasure that for a long time to come!
Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
Happy Birthday Grace! Beautiful words today Kristen.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday E. Grace! My daughter’s middle name is Grace too! She lives with Jesus now/

My son was born 7 weeks early, so I completely understand …
I love that her nickname is pocket change
Happy birthday, Grace! Four is so wonderful. Enjoy the adventure.
So precious! Happy belated Birthday, Grace!
Happy belated Birthday! Hope it was spectacular in your little pink boots. My soon to be 4 year old has a pair just like them!
Happy Belated Birthday! My your year ahead be blessed!
E. Grace,
I was so moved by your Mommy’s gifted verse about your birth and life. Even though I cried at times, your beautiful little face and your daily antics made me smile. You remind me so of my little girl, Ava Grace. Your zest for inquisitiveness and your need to be a big girl are so typical of my Ava. She tells me evey day that “I do it my own self” which makes me realize she is getting so big. While my baby is growing up and it breaks my heart a little each day, I am comforted by her ability to make me “freak out” with something else she has gotten into, learned to do on her own, or wants to do even though she is too little. Ava turned two in November, and she, like you, came to life through some adversity and in God’s timing. They said she would never be possible, but God showed the world that all things are possible through Him. Enjoy your day and know what a blessing you are to God, your family, and the world. I look forward to watching you grow! Happy birthday!
happy birthday sweet grace
Happy Birthday! You are so adorable! Blessings on you sweet girl!
Happy Birthday
Blessings to you!
my precious one’s name as well, Happy Birthday AMAZING Grace!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday sweet Grace! Hope your birthday was a lot of fun!
Wow, what a miracle! Grace, you remind me of our miracle. Her name is Maddy and, like you, she was born really, really early- at 25 weeks gestation. Like you, she had moments we weren’t sure she would make it, and like your parents did you, we gave her to God first before He gave her back to us.
Now she is 8. And beautiful. Just like you. And I am so thrilled to hear about what a big girl you are! Happy birthday from one family of miracles to another!
Happy birthday, Grace! I can tell how much your momma adores you by the way she shares about you.
Dear Grace,
My third little girl shares your spunk, your “yellow” hair and your name. Happy 4th Birthday sweetie!
