One Year Old!



It's been a big week for Serena. She turned one year-old last Saturday - at Montreat, where we had a great time at the Christian Life Conference. Then we had her first birthday party when we got back on July 4th. All her friends - well, all our friends - came and played along with the bean-themed games (picked for my nickname for Serena). They generously brought packages of diapers that we'll donate to TEAM of WV in celebration of Serena's first year of life - TEAM help strugging moms give their babies a good start. Since Serena's been blessed in so many ways, especially by the love and care of so many people, it seemed fitting that she share a little of that blessing with some other babies.


Thanks to all of you who love our baby so well. Joshua and I are incredibly blessed by wonderful friends and family who have enjoyed this first year with us. We look forward to seeing who sticks it out through the terrible twos :).

What a beautiful moment! I can hardly believe it has been a year. Wish we were closer to be able to celebrate these life moments together.

The face and concrete picture tugged at my heart. Sophia has begun creeping...fast. It won't be long before she has her own bruises!
