One year ago today I became a mom for the fourth time. I gave birth to our beautiful little Naomi Sage. It was the fourth time, we pretty much knew what to expect. But that didn't make it any less special and magical. Every baby born is a miracle. If you really think about what it took for that baby to get to that point of breathing on her own, it is truly amazing. It is truly evidence that we are all intelligent creations of a loving God.
I remember her coming out and screaming in anger, such a sweet sound! I remember her being put in my arms for the first time, her skin still moist. I remember looking into her blurry little eyes. I just knew that she was going to be something special, and I have not been disappointed. I was just trying to soak it all in because I knew it would be the last time.
Naomi has been such a blessing to our family. Her happiness is infectious. Her brothers and sisters have all learned about love and responsibility from her. I have seen every one of them lovingly take care of their baby sister. I have seen them all talk sweetly to her, trying to calm her down.
She has brought out the best in every one of us. This last year has been full of firsts and lasts-many of them bittersweet and exciting at the same time. And here we have another. Happy Birthday my sweet little Naomi.

Happy birthday, Sweet girl. I woke up today and thought "I think Naomi's birthday is soon!" Sometimes, I am happy surprised by my mind.
Naomi, you surely are a sweetie and I am so glad I got to play with you this summer. You are so lucky you have such good parents and such loving siblings. Eat up and have a fun second year!
Bah... This is actually crystal
I love those chubby faces your babies have right away! Becky, you just can't be done, you are so good at what you do! Happy Birthday Naomi!! I wish I could see you more and give you a big birthday kiss!
Happy Birthday Naomi
We were there when she came into the world. From that birth day on, she has felt like a special spirit. We expect her life and accomplishments to be very profound.
