My birth day, Carter's birthday

Today Carter turned one. We brought out the videos to reminisce - labor, birth and Carter as a newborn. Some of it makes me want another one...some makes me want to wait! We had a great time at his party yesterday. Pictures are up on our photo site. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Carter's big day.






It just makes me realize how time goes by so fast and I wonder when my little smiley baby boy turned into the walking, laughing and dancing machine he is now.



So today I celebrate one year of being a mother - the best year of my life.

A year full of laughter and joy.

A year of discovery and exploration.

A year full of prayer.

A year of research and seeking what is 'best' for my boy.

A year of little baby smiles and sloppy drool faced kisses.

A year learning and surviving the fun that is cloth diapering.

A year of successfully avoiding formula, tylenol, antibiotics and ER visits.

A year of wrinkled clothes and ponytails.

A year of playdates and mommy groups.

A year of watching my husband gain confidence as a father. A great father.

A year filled with love and gratitude for this healthy, beautiful boy that God entrusted to Joe and me.

We are so blessed.


Thank you to all of our friends and family who have given us advice and support in the last year. We are so thankful to have you in our lives.

That is the funniest (or as Joe would say, most funny) picture in the world!
