Our Precious Grace

Just wanted to share a new photo of our baby girl, Grace. She was to be named Katherine (you all know her by that) but we felt God was calling us to name her Grace. She turned one year old on Feb. 4. She has been home since Jan. 6. She is the most beautiful, perfect baby anyone could ask for. She is already saying a few words and is extremely smart! She amazes us each day! We are so blessed to have her as our daughter.

I love the name Grace. I think its very pretty. It reminds me of baby Grace in the Little House on the Prairie episodes. I've always liked that name.

She's a cutie pie!!! I just love those pigtails.
