Finding joy in the journey

Photo taken 5/5/05 at 5:55 am (3 minutes after birth).
-And what a birth it was!!! We arrived at the hospital fully dialated and 30 minutes before she came.
I remember Jim thinking we should just bring James to sit on a couch... the chaos in locating a doctor in time, along with frantic nurses would have been a bit too traumatic, I'm glad our friends were willing to take him so early in the morning!




I had to keep the date in this photo- can you believe the rolls, and size 3 diaper at 2 months old?!
Poor girl- only a few months old and had to endure ponytails tugging at her head.

Sitting up at 5 months old- just days before Daddy returned home from deployment...

Independent and walking at 10 months old...

Such style and grace at one.


Lizzy, we love your smile, tender heart, contagious giggle, and style.

Happy Birthday, Love!
