Analise is 10

I can't believe I have been a mom for 10 years already. And I can't believe I am a mother of a 10 year old. Double digits. Here is a look back at how she has grown and changed. One thing that has remained is her smile and joy. Analise means gracious and consecrated to God. 

And her middle name, Joy, seems fitting for her.

One of her gifts this year was a photo book I made with pictures of her from birth to present. I spent hours and hours looking back at pictures, and though it was long, I enjoyed the reflecting of her life.

She has been such a blessing to our family. We love you, Analise!
