It is amazing. Being a mother is WONDERFUL. I am so grateful to God for the joy that it brings.The heartaches are tough, but the pleasures and deep joys are greater.
What a blessing Lily is!

Well done with the excercise. I have now lost over 56 lbs since having the twins 14 months ago. I feel great, have far more energy and also feel better about myself!

I'm a little late, but HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LILY!! You are a beautiful, sweet little girl who has taught the grown ups in your life so much. Watching you grow over the last year has been a privilege. I hope your birthday was wonderful!

Sarah and Joe, you make beautiful children!!

Happy Birthday, sweet Lily! Hope your Mama told you the story of the day you were born - it's something my mama does every year on my birthday!

I really needed to read this today. Last week two men I know, both 71, died after very short bouts with cancer. I am in the middle of a very stressful season of life and needed to be reminded to be still and have faith. Thank you for sharing your prayer.

Hey Sarah, I just wanted to tell you I enjoy reading your blog so much! I love following along with Lily's progress and we at our house were also heart broken last week with the tragedy that you spoke about! Keep on going sister, you are doing great in this crazy world :) Good luck with the house selling, I will be excited to see where it leads your sweet family!

She is the sweetest little punkin! A word of advice with those back-up baa-baas: start rotating them in now because she'll turn her nose up at the new ones if you want until the old one is on its last leg. :) Lila has a special Lambie and Snuggle (her little blanket) and we rotated three lambies in and out early on and Lila is cool with either of the three now, but when I bought some new snuggles, she handed them back to me and said, "Dat not Suggle." :) good luck!

This is a wonderful post, my friend! I loved all the photos and getting a glimpse into the life of your precious family. What sweet memories you are making. I absolutely LOVED the pictures of her swinging! My favorite was the very first one! Such a little super hero! :)

What an awesome post! And I love what your church is doing with random dollar amounts to bless someone - I hope you post about how you used the $2. I'm not very creative, but I would likely buy a cup of coffee for someone :)

Hi sweet Sarah. I love reading your blog and getting the wonderful updates on you and your family. Your little lady is gorgeous. I hope you don't mind, but I shared your blog with a family that lost their sweet baby boy this week. He only made it in the world for about 5 minutes due to a heart defect, which they knew about mid pregnancy. I hope this was ok.

Love,
Heather

Naomi says HOORAY for a new friend and THANK YOU for the play date, though she is still disappointed that she didn't know to bring you CAKE! Seeing those two play was a gift--an affirmation of life in the face of great challenge, a witness to the bonds of faith, and a reminder that it is good for the soul to just sit and play and drink lemonade. Need more of that in my life, thanks for making the space for it. Love to your four, Meg
