Amelia Turns One
Amelia turned one on September 6th. Can you believe it has already been a whole year? Many moms recount the birth on that first birthday. Amelia’s birth was an intense five hour labor followed by a completely natural delivery. It was uneventful, completely unlike her older brother’s, and there’s not much to say about it. Amelia has done more in her first year of life than so many do in their entirety. We can’t wait to see what this coming year brings for our sweet girl.
Amelia commemorated her own birthday by walking with purpose. Each day since she has spent more time walking and we imagine that only another week or so will go by before crawling is a thing of the past.
Enjoy these pictures from Amelia’s birthday and her party, celebrated with her MK friend, Ruth.

You’re right–we can’t believe it’s been a year already! We love the swinging pictures–she’s such a cutie. Miss you all.
Exciting to FINALLY start reading your blog, Lisa. Happy Belated B’day to Amelia! I can clearly remember you and your beautiful family when you visited Sovereign Grace Baptist in Ok. She was only a few mths old! Look forward to continue to stay connected. God Bless you all! Chris S.
