Celebrating the precious life of our firstborn today. Cannot believe that Caitlin Love is TEN years old! It seems like only yesterday that she was born after holding our breaths for 20 weeks. You see, her pregnancy was all but normal. It was high risk. Her life was in danger. We never knew what we'd see on that ultrasound screen every other week. Her life was in limbo for 140 days. It was almost more than we could take sometimes. Not knowing whether our first child would live, die or be disabled. It took much love, prayer and hope to survive those days and then she was born - perfectly healthy at 9 pounds 13 ounces! OH what a joy she is to us. SO beautiful, smart & tenderhearted. 

Happy Birthday, Caitlin! It's double digit day!  LOVE YOU!
