1st Birtday Party

Anna's 1st birthday and party went great!!! We had a family and close friends party at the church on the Saturday before her birthday. She received tons of great and awesome gifts!! And a lot of clothes :) But one thing she certainly didn't like was the birthday cake. She wouldn't touch it and wouldn't eat it! She gagged every time!!
On Anna's actual birthday, Laura and I took the day off from work and we took her to the Tulsa Zoo. We had a great time. We saw the monkeys, elephants, giraffes, penguins, and a lot of other animals. She loved train (the conductor announced her name a couple of times over the intercom announcing it was her birthday) and the carousel. Afterwards, we met all four of her grandparents for a birthday dinner!

 

WOW!!!! Almost a year!!!

Wow! I cannot believe Anna is almost a year old. It has been a while since I posted a blog on here but with her 1st birthday coming up, I thought it would be fun. I just looked through all my past posts; from the time we found out we were going to be parents up through Anna's first few months. It has made my heart so happy! This little girl God has blessed Laura and me with has changed our lives so much. She is the perfect little baby! Well, she's not so little anymore. They sure do grow up fast :) And I love her little personality. She is such a happy and funny baby! The past year has been crazy! Three hospital stays for a total of 22 days for Anna's breathing and asthma. God has healed her little body. She still has to do an inhaler but she is so healthy and happy now! We thank everyone for all their prayers and visits when Anna was sick. I'm sure most of you have seen the pictures below on Facebook but I wanted you all to see how much she has grown. BEING A PARENT IS THE GREATEST BLESSING OF ALL!!!!!!!!!
