Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been three years...I don't want to go on and on, but I love my hubby now more than ever, especially when I see him with Noelle. Staying grateful is easy when we are so blessed...thanks to everyone for their continual love and support!

Bad/Good Hair

Noelle's hair at its best...
and at its, quite possibly, worst. And yet, I can't help thinking I prefer the second. Captures her incandescent, joyful spirit so much better...

Happy Birthday, Fatty!

I can't believe my baby is 1. Amid all the craziness of the past year my baby has managed to grow into a healthy, loveable and loving toddler by His grace. I thank everyone who has supported our family through their prayers, time, and love. Happy Birthday Noelle!

p.s. Insanely beautiful birthday cake made by Ruth Shin. Check out her other awesome goodies at http://savoytruffleandcake.com/!
