Saturday Snapshots (4/24)

1 Year of Bella in Pictures

I can not believe that a whole year has gone by since my Bellarina Belly Button was born. It just seems so inconceivable to me that she's now 1, but 1 she is. It has been a very hard year, but sooo wonderful too, and I love my girl so so much. (You can find her birth story here: Miss Bella has arrived!)

Easter 2010

So here are our pictures from Easter! (better late than never right?) Silly me, I left my camera at my mom's the day before so I had no pictures of Easter morning. We went to church the night before so we didn't go in the morning. We just got dressed, watched Up (Zach got it in his basket), then headed to my mom's for family get together.

My sister "helped" Belly look for eggs. (Code for she walked around carrying her and her basket while they both spent more time looking cute than for eggs.)

Belly could've cared less about what was in the eggs. She was having too much fun looking at them, eating them, and being outside.

Sunday Sayings (4/4)

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Psalms 127:3-5
