When I’m With You: A Video of Anna’s First Year

It’s hard to believe that one year ago today we joyfully announced Anna’s arrival. I woke up this morning at 6:33am to sounds of her little voice, and when I looked at the clock I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. She was just 2 1/2 hours old, our family was starting to arrive at the hospital, and we were already smitten.

I’ve been writing Anna letters since the day I found out I was pregnant. I thought I’d write them monthly until she turned one, but now that the day is here, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop. I hope someday those letters and this video will give her a small glimpse at all the months she won’t remember.

Anna is a beautiful star of her own video, and she will love watching it over and over! What a year it's been, full of love and pain, hope and fear. You've been faithful in pressing on, and the Lord has met you in each step. Let's hope the school of hard life lessons has now paused for recess time! Play, play, play.
