and

...our son, Henry Wade!

A whole year. That went fast! I'm not a very good writer but wanted to document a few thoughts for such a special occassion....

Henry, we've had such a fun year of surprises with you. We will never forget what relief we felt when we heard your first cry and what joy overcame us to learn you were a BOY! We our so thankful to God as having a child is our sweetest blessing. We are so thankful for your calm, laid back nature and enjoy watching you observe first before you make your move. You have become an excellent sleeper, a great eater , a lover of books and a little cuddler. You are so sweet and pass out kisses right and left. You have brought us our deepest frustration at times but our most happiness, too!

We are so thankful for this year God gave us with you, and pray there are many, many, many, many, more! We can't wait to watch you further develop in your language and tell us what you are thinking and of course, waiting for that day you accept Christ as your Savior!

While your birthday can be at one of the busiest times of the year, you are a true gift that can't be purchased, packaged or wrapped.

We Love, Love, Love you Henry with all our hearts and are so blessed to call you ours!

The BIG one year old!!

Tonight we are going to celebrate with Henry by going out to eat. Not a big thing, but something we rarely seem to do anymore. We've invited a cute lil' family to join us for supper and then back to our place for the cake fun...cause what fun would that be to watch by ourselves?? :). Stay tuned for more pictures of him eating cake and then we are having a playdate party on Thursday!
