Two weekends ago we celebrated Ruby's first birthday.
It was a great time with family and friends.
I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone by.
It seems like yesterday I was pregnant and looking forward to having a girl.
We have been so incredibly blessed with two beautiful, healthy children.
Last night as Clint and I celebrated our 8th anniversary, I was honestly able to say, "I'm just not sure if I could love my life any more than I do."
Yes, we have our struggles,
and no our marriage and our children are nowhere near perfect,
but the Lord is molding our family in to something spectacular, and we are enjoying the ride for sure!
All praise be to the Lord, for He is GOOD!
Here are a few pictures of Ruby's special day.
