The birthday girl!


A few weeks ago, I took the birthday girl to get her nails done and then to "Build-a-Bear" for her 5th birthday. Daniyah chose purple polish for her nails along with little white flowers. She insisted that I get my nails painted turquoise....she couldn't quite grasp that I was there to keep her still while the poor lady had to re-do her polish several times because she kept squirming! Here's a picture of Daniyah drying her nails at the nail salon.


Afterwards, we headed to the Galleria to get her stuffed animal. She chose the bear and the Dallas Cowboys' cheerleader outfit all by herself! Daniyah had a little skip in her step and a sway in her hips as she walked around the Galleria, proudly holding on to Mary. Not sure where she got the name, but she held on to her new best friend as if her life depended on it. We made our way back to her apartment complex on the other side of town where her mom and brother were waiting to hear about our adventures...I asked her brother what he had been doing all day...he told me that they couldn't do much in the summer. Because his mom doesn't have a car, they have a tough time going anywhere outside of their apartment complex unless they walk. His mom is very ready for the school year to start so she can be more proactive in the job search. Please continue to join me in praying for the kids of Yellowstone and their parents. Specifically, pray for safety of the kids and that we can be a light for Jesus in their dark world.
