Elin's First Birthday

This post is long due, but it's never late than never. One year birthday is a major milestone I don't want to forget. It's a day to celebrate God's love, blessings and providence, and a way of thanking our families and friends who have supported us in our journey of parenthood. A lot of amazing things happen in the first year of a child's life and I cherish every moment of my first year as a mom. I shared this post from 1 Corinthians 13 as a birthday favor for the Moms. It is my prayer and desire to teach my children to fear the Lord and bring them up in the way of the Lord.

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." - Proverbs 9:10

We love you, sweet darling, from long before we've met you.
