And time goes by --- so (quickly?)

I really cannot believe that time has gone by so quickly this past year. I have worked in 2 grade levels, taught at two different schools, taken maternity leave, returned from martenity leave and lost about 65 pounds (ok - ok - so counting from RIGHT before you have your baby to a WHOLE year after is cheating) haha.

I have watched my daughter start to grow before my eyes. It is amazing to watch God's design unfold right before my eyes. She has gone from focusing around faces to pointing and babbling about EVERYTHING. She could just hold her head up on day one and now she is standing, walking, and dancing. What an amazing year that first year is. My prayer for her (besides health, love, and knowledge) is that she continues to live an amazing life - maybe not a life that the world will notice but amazing none the less to those who are affected by her love. I pray that she will be a wonderful, friend, sibling, wife, and mother, and that life and God in turn pour out blessings on her.
