The talk­ing about, plan­ning and even­tual par­ty­ing is done and over with (way over)… so here she is. My lit­tle one year old at her first birth­day party. A thou­sand thank you’s to my friend, Kent, for tak­ing and edit­ing all these pic­tures for us. They are won­der­ful! By the end of the day, she was […]

I still think about the day Matt and I brought her home from the hos­pi­tal (I’m sure I always will—I don’t think you for­get moments like those). She was so tiny, so del­i­cate, so beau­ti­ful.
