Time Flies

What a difference a year makes. What a difference a year makes. One year ago lil' Ahnya was a baby...getting teeth, learning to crawl, trying new foods, adapting to her new environment, and completely dependent on us! Now, our Ahnya is a strong, active, busy, very loving, beautiful toddler who is dependent and keeping our family BUSY! She goes, goes, and goes! We are blessed and cherish our 3 little girls!
