It was today...

that I knew our lives were about to embark on a brand new journey.

It was today that I labored like a champ and then held my baby girl at 2:20pm.

It was today that I snapped one of my favorite pictures of the kids. (All three of them)

It was today that I enjoyed apple pie at midnight thanks to the well stocked fridge for new mothers. It was also today that I contemplated doing it all over again (with baby #4) so I could have another reason to stay overnight in the hospital and have apple pie at midnight.

It was one year ago today that our sweet Sara Christine was born!

And it is today that we will celebrate her special day. The big kids are excited of course and my heart is overflowing with joy as I think back on her birth and look at all she has accomplished this year. It has been a full one for each of us in this family of five and we look forward to many more.

Happy Birthday baby girl.
