One year and Eleven

B at 5 days old

This past week I have been planning sweet B.'s 1st birthday party. We just do a family dinner party (grandparents and us), but I like to give the girls a chance to pick a theme/colors and that is how we decorate (balloons, paper napkins, paper plates for food, and cake decor that ties in too). I enjoy making it special for them, and they enjoy making all the choices. Well, B. is 1. So mommy got to make all the choices! *cheer*

B in awe that so many people were looking right at her! 

But, that is not all we (Jimmy and I) were celebrating on Saturday.

February 16, 2002 Jimmy asked me to be his wife. (Of course I said YES!) Little did we know that ten years later, to the day, we would be welcoming our fourth daughter into the world. Now another year later, our sweet baby is now a toddler and we are celebrating 11 years together! Wow! A lot has happened in those 11 years. We are blessed beyond what we could have ever imagined for ourselves.

"19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us"  - Ephesians 3:19-20
