Happy Birthday, Gretchen!

Truly, where has this year gone?!  I'm just sure I was bringing Gretchen home from the hospital last week, but today she turns ONE!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Gretchen Ruth!
Gretchen is our happy-go-lucky, funny, outgoing, smiley, on-the-go, aggressive, dramatic little girl.  She enjoys being around people, gets super excited when she hears the front door open and knows that "Da da" is home, wants to do whatever her big brother is doing, and hams it up when she knows she's being cute or throws a mini-fit if she doesn't get what she wants!  She was young to roll over, crawl and walk, which doesn't surprise us now that we know - the girl isn't interested in sitting for very long.  She'll give her fair share of cuddles, but would rather be knocking down blocks than reading books!  God has blessed us with a rich dose of joy through our daughter.  We can only hope and pray we are more fortunate to spend another wonderful year with her.  

December 22, 2009 after just 70 minutes of labor - we got off to a great start!

 














 
Happy Birthday to our favorite one-year-old!  We love you, Gretch!

Happy Birthday Gretchen! You are so precious! Someday, Sianna will join you in knocking over blocks instead of reading books.

BTW Angela - 70 minutes of labor is my ONLY Christmas wish. :)
