One Year Old!



Well our baby is one. Early on after having Jael, I told Micah that I wanted to do two things to celebrate this first year with her: go away just the two of us for a night (which we did in August- thank you Grammy and Pa!) and have a BIG birthday party for her at Lynch Park. Since I've had children, I've wanted to have a party at Lynch Park but, you know, their February birthdays have hindered that thus far.

So we had a party! Probably the biggest party I've ever thrown and it was so much fun! We were SO blessed this year by our friends, family, and community. We received weeks worth of meals when she was born and then again when she had her first surgery. Friends and aunties and Grammys/Grams babysat big boys while I took Jael to countless doctors appointments. So many of those around us took interested in our new lives with Jael, celebrated each new thing she accomplished and continually lifted us up in prayer. We wanted to say thank you and celebrate- so we did!

Here's a taste of the party!

My beautiful, fun, smart, determined, strong little lady!




The Lord your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephania 3:17
