Happy 1st Birthday!

Sweet baby boy, you are one today! I know that you will have little memory of this day, but it marks your move from baby into toddler. Four months ago your stepped into our home and into our hearts.

It has been so amazing to watch our family of three expand to embrace you into our lives. We have watched you start to crawl, then move to take your first steps, and say your first few words. It has only been a few months, but oh the adventures we have already had. Camping at the beach...Great Wolf Lodge...Gardening with Papa...Watching the crazy chickens.. You remind me to treasure each moment.

Oh, how I wish that I could get a clear picture of what the future will hold. Would love to know how it will all play out, but my sweet boy there is only One who knows. One who knit you lovingly together, one who knew you would come into our family before we even knew you, we lean into Him.

You are deeply loved, you have charmed all of our friends, and there are many who are praying for you. It is my prayer that you will know love all the way down to your toes. We are so thankful that we said "yes".

Love you,
Mama
