Grace Is One!


Yesterday was Grace's birthday. It's hard to believe our little girl is one as it doesn't seem all that long ago we were heading to the hospital for me to be induced, eagerly awaiting her arrival and extremely excited about finally meeting our precious baby.

Grace is especially precious to us because of the long journey it took for us to become pregnant and despite the challenges this presented, we would go through it all again in a heartbeat as we now have our beautiful girl who has brought so much love and joy to our little family and who we both love to pieces.

It has been such a wonderful experience watching our baby grow and discover new things over this past year and we can't wait for all the fun times ahead of us.

Below are some of my favourite photos of Grace over the past 12 months...








I'm just waiting for some photos my friends snapped at Grace's birthday party and then I will post about all the fun we had celebrating yesterday.
