ONE YEAR OLDER ...


Oh Yes, Today is a big day at the Miner household. We celebrate one year of having our Miracle Baby enter our lives. I have been thinking all week about the events that lead up to this day a year ago and I feel truly blessed for the blessing of her healthy birth and this wonderful year.
As I write this and relate to a year ago at this time I am reminded that I was sitting in a hospital bed getting induced and dumbfounded by the fact that I was to have a baby THAT day, 3.5 weeks early. There were lots of crazy things that happened with her birth. If you want you can look back to this week a year ago and read our posts. Something I plan to do tonight when I am home and have time to relax and probably cry.
I cannot imagine my life any different. She is truly the most precious thing in the world. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for the constant JOY that she is. I love you my princess, Anna Karen. Happy Birthday!


P.S. The picture above was taken today, though it looks very similar to the photo on the header of our blog! The other is just moments after birth, those eyes were so observant from the moment she was born. They still make me melt every day!

Happy B-day to sweet Anna. Wow, she is already 1. Now the real fun begins, you are going to fall in love with this next stage, (I know, as if it can get any better, right?) She is darling.

You truly are the miracle baby Anna. We were so thankful to find out you made your entrance into the world happy and healthy and that your mom was healthy as well. We love you sweet Anna! Happy first birthday! Love: Taylor, Melanie and Grace

We are so sad that we couldn't make it to her party. We had a rough night that night with Lincoln in the ER. She is such an adorable little girl. Always so happy and enjoyable! We love living close to you guys!
