BIRTHDAY GIRL!!


Sophia is 1 today!! Here's a look back to what we were doing one year ago...I am so thankful to not be there right now :)







...and some glimpses of Sophia's first year:















What a blessed year it has been with Sophia added to our family. She is our (almost)always smiley-face! She has such a great disposition...I pray that it carries through all of her life. She adores her family--especially Brayden, Savannah, and, more recently, Grampa! The highlight of her day is anything with her brother and sister; they're the first ones she looks for when she awakes and the last ones she hugs and kisses before bed. The year has passed so quickly :( I'm thankful for pictures and video to capture some of the many moments that we cherish. Before long she too will be heading off to school :( For now, she's conquering and exploring everything around her, soaking in all the love and adoration from her siblings, and growing like a weed!

Happy first birthday, sweet Sophia Kathryn! We love you soooooooooooo much!

I have to admit that I have been "peeking" at your blog for a couple of months now... It's so fun to see your little family and read you well-expressed thoughts! Your children are beautiful! You look like you really enjoy them...gotta love that!

I'm so sorry about your recent loss...don't pretend to really know how it feels, but am praying for you. Heaven is nearer and dearer, I'm sure!

Thanks for sharing your life...and Happy Birthday to Sophia!!
