Happy 1st Birthday, Lily Grace!

You are a blessing to our family, and you put lots of smiles on all of our faces, every day!  This past weekend, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Eric made the trip to help celebrate Lily's Birthday with us over the holiday weekend!  We also enjoyed Apple River Fort living history; the kids swam, swam, swam; and we camped out!  Happy Birthday to you, sweet baby girl.
