new beginnings

Well hello there :) Welcome!

This is the beginning of our new family blog. Here I will be sharing about our lives and how we are learning and growing as a family. I'm so excited to be writing again so that I will have something to look back on in the future :) A little about us if you're new here. I am Amanda and my husband is Steve. We met in August '09 and were married May '10. Within our first year of marriage we made a lot of changes including buying a new house and the biggest change of all was the news of our baby girl due to arrive January '12. She is our absolute treasure and has brought more joy to our lives than anything I've ever experienced :) Her name is Eliza Noelle and this blog will talk a lot about her. After all, it is named for her :)
