HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY ADRIANNA!









My sweet little Adrianna turned ONE YEAR OLD today!! I absolutely cannot believe I've had this little baby girl for a whole year. She has brought so much love and light to our home. She's always so happy and good-natured. She's our little socialite and loves people. She has been the perfect playmate for her big sister Shayna. We love you so, so much pretty little Adrianna and we're excited to spend many more birthdays with you. Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Eleven Months Old!

Adrianna turned eleven months old yesterday...and she's officially walking today! She has been practicing for a couple of months now, but finally decided she was done with all those "practice runs". She's a careful observer of her mommy and sister. I catch her mimicking things we do often. She'll copy noises Shayna makes and then they both end up making each other laugh. I just can't say enough about how much I love this little girl...BOTH of my little girls. God has blessed me beyond belief! Praise Him! :)


Our beautiful girls on Christmas day. To me, they are proof of God's endless grace, which is all around us. I haven't done anything to deserve such amazing blessings - but yet here they are. Thank you God.
