1 Year Ago Today

It is so amazing to me that at this time last year we were in the hospital holding our new baby girl.  She had been in this world for almost exactly one hour.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  How could I forget one of the best days of my life.  We have come so far in just one year.  I remember when I could sit on the couch and hold my baby girl.  Now she wants down to crawl, cruise or even take a few steps (which she did today!).  She has gone from baby to toddler and it is so exciting and so sad at the same time.  Where is my baby girl?  I'm so very proud of her and her new accomplishments everyday.  I'm amazed at how smart she is.  The joy that Hannah Claire has is contagious, even on the worst day she can easily bring a smile to our faces.  Each and every day I try to take time to savor the current stage because tomorrow could be a whole new one.  I pray that God will guide us in raising Hannah Claire to live for Him.  I pray that we listen to His guidance and set a good example for HC.  I pray that Hannah Claire will have a close and personal relationship with Jesus Christ and be an example to others.  

Thank you to everyone that sent sweet birthday wishes to Hannah Claire on her 1st birthday.  We are truly blessed by amazing family and friends.  We love you all and thank you for love y'all have for our little girl.  We took tons of pictures from the party today and I will try to get some up asap!
