The life of our Little Peanut has taken us down many unexpected paths so far. But I want to be able to have an easy reference place for collecting and storing posts, information, resources as I find them. Our daughter Amelia Marie Grace was born on Feb 17, 2018 at 8:23am, weighing 7lbs 4oz and 19.25 inches long. Her name is very special to us. Amelia means work of the Lord. We will call her Leah because we love how she was unlikely in God’s plan and he made her central to the lineage of Christ over Rachel. Marie to share a name with me and a bonus middle name cause shes already special so why not: Grace. We will never forget that she certainly was not promised nor deserved nor earned but totally just a gift of grace.Â
She has a full head of red hair, loves to stick her tongue out.
