Our one year old sweet face.


 Happy Birthday Reagan!

 Today my baby is ONE YEAR OLD! This year has gone SO fast. It's kind of sad, but it's great too. Reagan has been such a joy to our family! It's hard to believe that at one point early in my pregnancy with Reagan we were not so excited. Some of that had to do with the fact that I had my head in the toilet for a few months. It took quite a while until both Jason and I felt excited about having another child. I'm SO glad that God is in control though! I can't possibly imagine our family without this wonderful unplanned bundle of joy! She is a true gem! I think knowing that she is my last baby has also helped me really savor her. She's so deliciously adorable! Don't you think? Yes, yes you do!























At least a few times everyday I look at her beautiful face and just realize how completely head over heals I am for her. I do that with all my kiddos! They are all VERY different in personality, but I just love them to pieces! I'll be honest, there are days when I think I'm going crazy with the messy house, the fighting, and the CONSTANT need for mom, but I'm so grateful that the joys of having children BY FAR outweigh the annoyances. And there is nothing like being a parent to show me how totally and completely selfish I am. This is a good thing. It has been the greatest task in my life so far. Being a mom. Greatest in burdens and greatest in joys! It's a wonderfully difficult part of life that God has graced me with!

Thanks for being so willing to be personal, open, and honest on your blog. To share that with us is such a blessing. I sometimes find myself biting my tounge and not saying things I might really want to "release" it's encouraging and refreshing to read you share in this way.

What a sweet little booger! I can't imagine your family without her, either. :)
