Happy Birthday Amelia Grace!!


Amelia turned 2 today!! Our big girl is really growing up and Matt and I couldn't be more proud to be her parents! The time has flown by. It feels like it was yesterday that I was holding her in my arms for the very first time! I love to look back and see how she has grown in the past year! This past year she has learned to walk rather than "scoot". She has discovered that crayons are more fun to color with than to chew on. She's learned that M&M's and potato chips are on the top of her food pyramid! She's learned to count to 10 and say her ABC's....All this leaves me to wonder....Where did my little baby go!? Good thing that age will never stop her from always being my little girl! I look forward to things God has in store for Amelia. I often wonder what her hopes and dreams will be and what kind of gifts she will possess. Whatever they may be, I pray that they are rooted in the Lord and everything she does will bring glory to His name!
We are celebrating Amelia's birthday on saturday with a few of our family and friends! More pictures coming soon!

There is no Greater Joy...

...Than being Amelia's mommy! I am so blessed this Mother's Day, to have a wonderful husband and daughter who love me more and more each day! It is their love that strengthens me, humbles me, and makes me a better person! On this Mother's Day, not only am I thankful to be a mom but I am eternally grateful to the one who taught me how to be a mom!





Dear Mom: You are such an inspiration to me. I am so thankful that God chose you to be my mom, my teacher, my very best friend! Your zeal and passion for the Lord is something I have always admired in you. You always taught me, through the way you lived your life, how to be a mighty woman of God! For that, I am thankful! Everything I am today is because of the firm foundation you laid for me yesterday! I love you Mom!


Happy Mother's Day!!
