ONE YEAR!

Wow, I can't believe we have a one year old! It was a challenging year. We would not have survived without our "village" and the countless prayers of our "villagers". Honestly, Emilia is an amazing kid. I am not sure if it is our parenting or the Grace of God (I lean toward the Grace of God). She brings us a ridiculous amount of joy. We look forward to seeing her grow this next year!
