~From Geoff Moore's song "Swept Away"
I can't believe it has been four years since we first heard those sweet words "you have a daughter" and every day since has been such a blessing.
Every year we take a picture of her holding that first picture we saw of a chubby and terribly cute 6 month old : )

Here are some more faves from today. I can't believe how grown up she suddenly looks!! I look at her and think of the words to a song out right now "you're beautiful baby from the outside in" She really is gorgeous and she has the sweetest heart to match! She says and signs I love you a hundred times a day and gives the best hugs and kisses~ we are so BLESSED!!
You can go to the archives for past Sept 1st posts. Happy Referral Anniversary to all our travelmates and all my Lovebug friends!!

Happy Referral Day......no one will ever forget the day God sent them a picture of the child He chose for them.
Happy Referral Day! I can't believe how much she changed from 07 to 08, incredible.
She looks like such a little lady now.

Hard to believe... you were getting your referral I was hoping for mine (still 3 months away - but what did we know then?) Still hard to believe... how it all works.. wondrous and mysterious.. but lovely! Happy Annslee day!! I still say thanks every day.. for the gift of my children and the journey to each.
Hugs - Missy
I love these pictures! So sweet!
