the at home chick: Happy Birthday Olivia Grace

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Happy Birthday Olivia Grace

Our sweet little lady is 2 years old today. I can't believe it! People always told me that these years go by fast and they were so right. She was supposed to be due on the 18th, but of course it's was God's timing. I remember this time two years ago I was laying in BRMC having contractions and awaiting an epidural. Then at 2:55 p.m. God brought Olivia Grace screaming into our world (how appropriate, she loves to scream..). Ah, seems like yesterday. (The pics of me in the hospital... eeek! Next time I should do something with myself. I totally had the time. I was only laying there numb for a few hours.)

Last year. 1 year old.

What a joy our Livy Grace has been. Happy birthday, sweet little lady.

I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful I know that full well.

Proverbs 139:13-14 NIV

About "The Chick"

The title pretty much says it all. I'm a stay at home Mom (and a wanna be domestic, cook and fabulous baker, photographer, and crafty lady). I've always imagined staying home, but never thought I actually would or be able to. Home is my favorite place to be. I hope you enjoy reading about what goes on during my day, foods I cook, a Bible study I'm doing, or maybe something crafty that come to fruition (sometimes I amaze myself!). I'm a wife to an amazing man, mommy of two beautiful girls, a daughter, sister, friend, and the list goes on. I wear tons of hats, but my favorite hat to wear is being a "stay at home Mom", the at home chick.
