A year ago today- I was getting ready to meet her. She’d grown with me, inside of me- and I anticipated seeing her face to face more than a child anticipates Christmas morning. I had prayed for her and treasured her while only knowing her squirms and hiccups. But I knew her… and was already totally overwhelmed with joy that she was my daughter.
… and then she came…
…and opened a whole new cavern of my heart…
The first year of her life has been an incredible journey. In her first days we escaped a flood, and in her first months we traveled across the Atlantic to set up home in South Africa. By the time Ellie was three months old, she’d been in 6 states and two countries. She seems born for adventure. I’m just honored to share it with her…
Happy Birthday Ellie… I love you!!!

Um, okay. That shot of you in the hospital looks staged. Like I have been with a lot of my friends and family when they are in labor and they look crazy. Their faces are bloated, they are sweaty and full of anticipation. Yes, they are beautiful – basking in “Mom” but still. Then this picture of you – you look like you belong on the cover of “pregnancy4U” or something. Seriously, could you be any more beautiful? Dang, I think I need to get pregnant. That, or go buy some lip gloss.
