my little girl is 1!

jolie turned 1 yesterday.

i know i'm supposed to say "i can't believe it", but i truly can't believe it! the year has flown by, but i love this stage of life...she is constant entertainment for us! i wish it would slow down a little so i can savor the moments...guess i'll just have to be more purposeful!

i made the comment to carissa yesterday that we no longer just get to be mommy and daddy to this cute little baby...now we have to be parents! we've already come across her strong little will. and it's surprisingly strong!!

o God, give us Your strength and wisdom to raise her to know and love You! draw her close to You at an early age, and use her to do mighty things for Your kingdom!
