Scarlet Hope is 11 months old! Not sure how we arrived here so quickly, but here we are. She continues to be the sweetest, most content of all my babies, and we all find her quite entertaining. She is into EVERYTHING and is actually very stealthy for someone so small. She loves to eat, explore the house, unroll toilet paper, remove ziploc bags from their boxes, and crawl to the edge of a stairway and watch your reaction. She is standing for short periods of time, but hasn't yet taken her first steps! We love her so!
Today being Good Friday, I would be remiss if I did not talk about the meaning of this little girl's name. Scarlet Hope - she was born near Easter last year, and while we love the way her name "coordinates" with our other daughters, we love even more that her name symbolizes the gospel. Jesus' blood is the reason for our hope. His sacrifice on the cross is what gives us reason to live, to breathe, to have joy. How grateful we are for God sending his only son to save us from our sin and the darkness of a life without Christ.

to be without God is to live inevitably without hope." - Alistair Begg
