CAMI IS 2!!!!!!

Yes, We have a two year old in our household now... She is awesome! On May 30th, 2007  at 5:15 in the morning, our beautiful Camelia Mae  was brought out of my body and into this world. We have been blessed SO ABUNDANTLY since we have added her to our family, and are in love with who God is forming her to be...

Here are a few memorable events from her first two years with us....


Day of Birth! 
She was 8lbs 4.5oz 
a pretty big and seemingly healthy baby...


Our happy 3 month old
so skinny and we had no idea...


We went to the cardiologist to see if there was a reason she was not gaining weight
We drove to the hospital right away
They admitted us and that was our new home for a the next month
Our four month old just had open heart surgery
She was in the CVICU for ten days
it felt like a lifetime...


Two months later she was celebrating her first Christmas
So thankful for our beautiful gift of a daughter....


She likes to make funny faces at us,


She likes riding on daddy's back,


and flying through the air.


We celebrated our first Mother's day together...


and her first birthday!!

Our lives since them could be summed up with...

Swimming in water


Drinking water


Bathing in water


playing with things that help you see under water


talking on the play phone


talking in the real phone


hiking with mom and dad


cheering on our team


swinging


eating


making funny faces in the water


watching animals who live in the water


poking sister


holding and helping sister


washing dishes in the water


splashing in puddles of water


swimming with daddy in water


walking in the water....
and being wonderful through it all.


We love our beautiful blessing of a daughter.

She could have been taken away from us, and has overcome so much. She is growing into a beautiful little girl, and we are so blessed by who she is. We pray that she will come to know and love her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
