Personal: 1st Birthday Pumpkin Party

"The child must know that his is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been,
 and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him." - Pablo Casals

From the moment I met you, I was overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by fear. Overwhelmed by worry and wonder at how I was going to care for you. Overwhelmed by the miracle you were. The miracle you are. And I was overwhelmed by love. To the point of tears. Even a year later. 

I dream up dreams for you bigger than life can hold, but I won't stop. To think that you've been with us for a whole year already doesn't seem possible. How can time hold as many hugs, kisses, snuggles, and laughs as you've given. Or how are there enough hours to encompass just the naps you've taken? ;) Oh my baby, you're the joy of my life. I will remember our first celebration of your life as long as I live. One day, when you're old enough to look back, I hope you see all of daddy and I's love in the details. 



And today, I am beyond thrilled to have been published again on one of my very favorite blogs: Grey Likes Baby!!

Just the THREE of us.

THANK YOU doesn't even express what it needs to for the following people for their help and time. They helped me pull together a vision I had in my head...which was pretty much impossible for me to draw on paper or verbally describe. And yet, everything came together beautifully! 

First of all, my family for the labor, food, set-up, & tear-down. ;) I love you Jessica, Daddy, Michael, Alan, Grant, Moma, Mom V, CreekSide boys!, Felicia, Dad V, Grandma Crabbs, Grandma Krause, Cassie, & Natosha! You helped so much!! Couldn't have done it without you. If I forgot someone, I'm SO sorry in advance! ;) 

And the biggest THANK YOU goes to my amazing husband Jason. Oh man, words have been harder and harder to find for I love you, you're the best husband ever, the greatest father I could imagine for our son, and I can't live without you! You are so very supportive and thank you for dealing we me while planning this and for watching Eli every night for a week while I set up. You are my dream partner and I'm so beyond blessed to have you as mine!
