Three Little Princesses: September 2010

First Day of School

Today was the girls first day of Parent's Day Out at our church! They were so excited to pick out their outfits, get their backpacks ready, and pack their lunches! Trav and I had fun dropping them off this morning together, and baby Amelia and I picked them up this afternoon. They both did great and had such a fun time meeting their new teachers and friends! We are so excited for this year!

Going Home

After Miss Amelia got here...we only had to stay 24 hours in the hospital...so around 6 p.m. on the 31st we were headed home to anxious big sisters Avayah & Adalynne, who were beyond thrilled to get to welcome home their little sister!

The Big Day!

Disbelief...had it really already been nine full months?? The morning of August 30th, brought so many emotions...excitement, wonder, joy, anxiety, and fear-just to name a few-but most of all PRIDE. My sweet and precious Amelia and I made it the LONG haul!

This was by far a hard pregnancy, and such a hard year full of some definite heartache, and tough choices. I am so grateful for my family and friends who helped me close doors and overcome so much! And now looking at one of my three best rewards, I know every step taken was worth it to get the happiness and peace we have now. I am so grateful for the life I have and our newest addition to our family....
