Our baby girl entered this world one year ago today. July 2, 2007. Just like her siblings, she came 3 weeks early. She shocked mommy and daddy early in the morning, around 3:30am, but then decided she just might not want to come out! (God was timing everything for us!) After a little bit of help from the doctor, she was enticed out, at 9:30am--making a controlled, mild, gentle, BEAUTIFUL birth story for a very beautiful little girl. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and I thanked God for going before us and preparing a gentle delivery. (If anyone knows the story of Isaiah and the "less than one hour" birth story you will understand our need for gentle!! And may understand Isaiah a bit more..ha!) Happy Birthday Aliah! We are all SO SO glad you are here.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Hannah & Isaiah. xoxoxo

What a great pic. Isn't she a sweetie. I have yet to meet her in person. Hopefully some day!
Love the pics of your kids on the post below as well. They always make me laugh.
Happy Birthday, Aliah! She IS absolutely beautiful. My mom is still talking about, "... that beautiful baby from your church."
Your kids are gorgeous!! And you do have a fantastic smile!
About the Dr. Henry Cloud comment you left on my blog.. he has written most of his books together with Dr. John Townsend (the most popular of which being the "Boundaries" series). They are all amazing. The one you saw on my nightstand picture is supposed to be one of the best, but I highly recommend the Boundaries books too. :) I think I'll be doing a post on those books soon.
I really like this post! What a touching tribute to your daughter. I love her name. The meanings of her name are so neat!
