Our little girl turned one!!---& it's almost been 2 months!!!

Our little girl turned one almost 2 months ago & I can't help but feel like she's all grown up. She's crawling, cruising around furniture, and communicating more and more everyday. But despite of her increase in independence, she is still our little cuddler & melts our hearts when she throws both arms straight into the air to have us pick her up.

We had 3 wonderful birthday celebrations for our sweet Lillia...

1- With her Mimi & Papa Harrington a couple weeks before her birthday
2- On her Birthday-- Her daddy brought her home a Mc Donald's Happy Meal for a special birthday lunch :-)
3- With her Grandma & Poppie a couple weeks after her birthday


Lillia's Aunt Emily MADE her this adorable tutu!! So cute!!
Since she gave it to us every girl who comes over goes straight for it. Even Mark has had his turn wearing it!

Due to broken camera, we couldn't quite capture the smile, but I had to include a picture
of her in the crown!

Birthday Happy Meal from Daddy -- it came with a motion sensor penguin. Every time it registered movement, it made a noise--- Lillia loved it... I went crazy!

Grandma & Poppie pose with a very messy, but very happy birthday girl :-)






We love you, Lillia!! You are a very special gift from God!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
