happy new year!


it is hard to believe that another year has come and gone. what a year it has been at the smith household. we are so unbelievably blessed and it has been a year filled with so many fabulous changes and adventures. when i think back on the past year, i am overwhelmed with emotion and humbled by God's grace and sovereignty. He has watched over us, cared for us and made our lives more rich than i could ever dream possible with the addition of our amazing daughter. no words can capture what 2007 was to us, but i will attach a few pictures of the last month or so and lily's face expresses more than my words ever could! so, prepare to embark upon a photographic journey of our last few weeks!...


she just learned how to play hide n' go seek and she is feeling quite clever!


we had our own small christmas in c'ville before we headed home. look at her adorable hat that my friend kristi made for her!! (and of course she found this box of mentos more exciting than the gifts she received!)



the girl would wear hats all day long if i'd let her!


doing a new trick whit taught her... "stretchy-stretch!"

and feverishly signing "more" after every bite of food!

the biber clan


you could say lily was definitely the star at the smith and biber households this christmas... someone needs to have a baby quick so she doesn't think everything is all about her!!


getting ready for the christmas eve service.


some things never change!!


how is this photo not surprising!?


her first christmas morning!!

a sink bath at the bibers!

happy 2008 to everyone! we hope you were able to ring in the year with joy and peace!!
blessings,
the smiths

Loved the pictures - every one of them captured the essence of love, joy, blessings, and God's little miracles that happen in the midst of family. Thanks for sharing your photographic genius! Hope all is well - I know you miss Ry. Hugs to you and Ry when you see him, kisses to Lily, and xoxox,
