This beautiful little girl just turned eight on Friday. Such a special, happy time in life! Her big brother is coming home from his mission soon, and she's excited that he will be there to baptize her. Sadly, her big sister will not be able to be there. Growing up has its drawbacks.
She's our little princess, and she knows it. She's our Missy. She's even my namesake. ("Marianne" is an anagram of "AnnMarie" -- my parents thought it was funny. Also, at the time they thought she was going to be the last child, so having the last child's name as an anagram of the first child's name seemed very fitting somehow. Little did they know Nathan was on the way. At least they didn't try to name him Nehpets after my brother Stephen like they threatened.) How grateful I am for my family! I wouldn't trade any one of my brothers or sisters for more money or a bigger house or anything else. I feel richly blessed that Heavenly Father would entrust seven precious souls to my responsibility. How grateful I am for the binding power of our parents' sealing in the holy temple.
