And so it's official, our darling Chloe is one. What a great year filled with toothy smiles and squinched up noses.

When we first found out we were pregnant we thought it would be so great to have a boy. It would just be easier with clothing and toys and beyond that it was what we "knew".

Well, well...God had different plans and are we thankful He did.

God blessed us with our beautiful baby girl and life without a girl just wouldn't be right. We love every second of having a girl and have quickly grown fond of ribbons and bows.

Chloe-Belle, Bellie, Bella, Chlo-Chlo, Cleo or whatever else anyone wants to call you...

We LOVE you. You complete our family and are a gift from God.

Thank you Lord for this blessing. The blessing of a baby girl.
