A quieter birthday for brother...


With all of the princess party excitement at our house this year, it would seem that our little boy turning one was overshadowed. Not true!! We did celebrate his birthday today. We were just a little less over-the top about it :)! A little cupcake, a toy to open and he was more than happy with his birthday celebration today. And his momma is caught up in one of those bittersweet moments of remembering --my sweet 8lb boy, born after 30 hours of labor is now over 22 lbs and walking all over the house!! How short a year is! I just know that I will blink and he will be off to school. All the more reason to enjoy each moment of him--sloppy kisses and sweet hugs, mischievious little grins and sturdy little legs. He is a blessing to be sure. We couldn't be more thankful for him. A shout out to our favorite aunt Cathi who gave up month of her life last year to come help us wait for his birth ( and a huge thanks to grandma who watched her kids) and who now fittingly shares his birthday. Happy Birthday Aunt Cathi!!! And Happy Birthday sweet Rylan James!! Love-- your mom.

Yes, a sweet blessing indeed! While I am sad I couldn't be there to hold him just after birth I was honored to be there at all. I'll make the next birth for sure (wink!)
