A Life Full of Love: Welcome 2011!

Wow, I can't believe 2010 has come and gone. What an exciting year it was! I was preggo for most of the year and then welcomed my beautiful daughter into this world in September. This year, I found my long lost sister, Lacy. I have dreamed about meeting her my whole life and it still shocks me that I found her on facebook. Not only did God give me a daughter this year, but he gave me my sister AND a nephew. Lacy has been with me through my whole pregnancy and the birth of Lilly. What more could a sister ask for? I thank her for all of her support and encouraging words. Although we still have never met in person, I enjoy talking to her every chance I get. I pray that one day we will get together so I can give her the biggest hug ever!

Jordan and I were able to go to Florida on his first business trip when I was 7 weeks preggo. I remember the plane ride being the worst part of the trip. I got extremely nauseous for both flights...yay for first trimesters! when I was 4 months pregnant, we traveled to North Carolina where were went camping and went to a 3 day bluegrass festival. We had so much fun that we decided we would go every year. I can't wait to take Lilly on her first camping trip this April! In July, Jordan and I spend our 3rd year anniversary in Burleson where we enjoyed our last anniversary without kids. It's kinda weird to think that we will never completely be alone ever again. There will always be babies and kiddos in the background playing or needing mommy's love. I'm 24 and I still need my mommy! ;)

I think 2011 will be a great year. Our daughter will start to sit, crawl, talk, eat real food, WALK...and experience so many more milestones in her life. I am so honored that I get to enjoy every single moment of it all. I wonder how this year will change my new family? I wonder what our daughter will teach us about ourselves and about her. She has already made me a better person; more than I ever thought I could be. I can only imagine what else she has in store!

So, I toast 2011 with much love and hope. Here's to the St.Clair family. May we learn to appreciate our time together and grow in Christ even more. May our daughter grow and learn to be a remarkable little girl with laughter and joy in her heart. Let 2011 bring us challenges and accomplishments that we may be able to work through and grow as a family. Here's to 2011!
