Better late than never!



Yes, we have been home for ten months now, but we've been busy! I can't believe how much she has grown over such a short period of time! Her smile continues to make my heart sing with happiness...I can only hope we can give her the same measure of happiness she has brought into our lives. 

Our announcement cards will be going out in the mail sometime in the next week or so depending on how my the school start up goes, so those of you in our families who actually read our blog now have had a sneak preview - watch your mail boxes!

  2. She couldn't be any more beautiful. And her smile is infectious. I can't look at her and not smile.

    What a blessed family you are.

  7. I owe you a huge thank you! A couple of months ago you had posted on my blog, suggesting I get professional pictures taken of my daughter before her lip/palate surgery. I went today (to Walmart) Although she still hasn't gotten the hang of sitting so the session was a little tough, we got some beautiful pictures. I can't wait to get them back. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this idea. Seeing your daughter's lovely pictures in this post made me even more grateful.
