Wow! All we can say is that we can't believe she is 1!! It seems like we waited and waited for this day to come and now here it is! I am not going to write a long monologue on how much we love her, while reminiscing about the day she came into the world (although I am in my head!) Instead, I am simply going to say how truly blessed Ben and I are to have her in our lives! Despite the ups and mostly downs of getting her here, we would not change a thing. The downs only made us more appreciative of what we have now!
Okay, I am done with the sap! Hope everyone enjoys the pictures and we can't wait to celebrate her birthday with all of you!
Love - Ben and Kori

Ohmygosh!! I can't believe that it has been a year since we waited for her to be born!! And remembering Ben crying when they wheeled Amelia out of the operating room to take her to the NICU (oh, I forgot, he didn't want anyone to know that!). I still have one of Ben's "Amelia Updates" on my voice mail, from August 27, and she had taken 7 cc's by bottle and 7 cc's by the feeding tube and Kori was very sick. What a journey!! We love you, Amelia, and can't wait to celebrate your birthday with you!!

Happy Brithday to YOU!!
Happy Birthday, Amelia! We can't wait to celebrate your special day in a couple of weeks! Kori, you are right - the ups and downs of getting her here, make us all love her even more! Have a great day with her!
Happy Birthday to Ben, Kori, And of course Amelia. I know it was rough going in the begining but look at you all now!!! Ben has learned that he can handle someone smaller than a two year old. I have a feeling that the rough pregnancy and tough delivery were all worth it to Kori. And what can you say about Amelia. I believe that she has and will continue to exceed all of out expectations. How could she not with parents like Ben and Kori.Love to all and
HAPPY BITHDAY !!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Amelia. I forgot just when her birthday was. You would never guess that she was so small when she was born. I have enjoyed Amelia's first year and hope to continue to enjoy her second. Keep on blogging. I enjoy this so much!

Happy Birthday, Amelia Kay! Honestly, I'm tearing up right now!! I will never forget the drive to Illinois on the day you were born! The wait for somebody, (MOM!!), to call me with the update was torture and then I had to wait many more hours to get to see you!

Love ya,
