Day 357

We are getting so close to our 1st anniversary. I feel like we've grown a lifetime as a family already. I was looking back at some pictures from last year today. The kids really are growing up. I was warned that would happen but never realized they weren't joking. And now that we have a new addition to our family, I'm sure nothing will be slowing down. The 11 days that have passed since her birth already seem like a blur.

I must say that we have been so blessed by family and friends that have continued to send us well wishes, prayers, gifts, food and wonderful kindness and support as we adjust to having the added company. Our little peanut is so beautiful. I never would have thought I could be this ga-ga over a sweet little girl. But here I am. I think Jake has jumped on that bandwagon too. He is definitely going to be looking out for her as she grows up. He wants to hold her and look after her every chance he gets.

Courtney and I are looking forward to the 1st of many anniversaries to come.
