Beyond Blessed

As I sit back and think over this year, I am just in awe of what a miracle babies are. I was looking at pictures of my babies this evening after they were first born and it is hard to believe that they were even Premie by looking at them now! Looking back at how they could once fit inside my shirt, or wear Taylor's wedding band around their wrists is just amazing to me. I am so thankful for my little miracle babies and how strong they have become in this year. They have already accomplished so much and I am just so thankful for the person I have become because of them. 

We celebrated Grady and Adalynn's First Birthday two weeks ago and it was such a great party! We had so much fun visiting with family and friends, and were sad when the party had to end. 

Grady and Adalynn are doing so many things these days. Grady is getting into EVERYTHING!! He goes from one end of the room to the other in a split second. He is still more comfortable in an army crawl, but he does pull up to all fours every now and then. He pulls up on the coffee table and can walk holding on to the table to get something at the other end of it. He loves to wake up in the mornings and stand holding on to the bed rails! He loves to say "dada" and he is really loving Avocado right now. He is 25 pounds and 29 1/2 inches long! Growing like a weed!! ;)

Adalynn started crawling on her first birthday! (Talk about a show off ;)) She loves yogurt and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She loves clapping to music and she also loves to play with anything that her brother is playing with. She is pulling up to her knees but can't get much higher than that without help. She loves to walk in the walker and be outside. She weighs 21 pounds and is also 29 1/2 inches long.

I guess I am just feeling the spirit of the season tonight but I am beyond thankful for all that the good Lord has given me this past year. Two healthy, happy babies; a family that loves me for me; a rewarding job; and a God that answers prayers even when I don't deserve it. I keep going back to this song that I heard on one of my favorite television shows, Nashville, and I just love it and I think it speaks for how I feel right now. Very thankful!
