Happy Birthday Ansley!

Our sweet baby is turning 1 today...can you believe it?!?! I cannot believe that it has already been a year. I remember thinking months and months ago that this day would never get here...and here it is. Mike and I are so lucky to have a sweet baby like Ansley...she has been a complete joy and the best baby. We are truly blessed and do not know what we would do if she was not in our lives. It has been crazy, it has been hard sometimes, it has been challenging...but it has been awesome and we wouldn't change it for anything. I thought I would put up some pictures of the day it all began...when she came into our lives and changed us forver. We have truly been blessed with a sweet, beautiful, loving baby. How lucky are we? I posted pictures throughout her first year...enjoy!

Right before our lives changed forever...we had no idea


She had just taken her first breath...weighing just over 5 pounds


Proud, proud Papa


Before she got here...I had no idea how much I would love her

It is so hard to believe just how tiny she was...
