Dear Bowen,
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. This past year has been the best year of my life. I am so very thankful for you and so blessed to have you! I love to listen to you talk and giggle. I love to watch you get extra excited as we go outside or out to see the dogs. I love that you love blueberries and pickles...just like me. My favorite part of the day is getting you out of the bathtub and snuggling you up in a clean towel at the end of the day. You have a light in your eyes like no one else and a spirit ready to roar. Thank you for letting me be your mommy. I am the luckiest mommy in the world. I love you so much. Happy FIRST Birthday!
Love, Mama

Year in Review

I am so glad I did this. It wasn't my idea, but a good one at that. I had seen a friend do it before. The pup was a gift from his uncle and the first time I did this picture when he was 10 days old, I just grabbed it quickly without much thought. It has turned out to be quite the centerpiece. My little man has grown so much, and it is so much fun to see these pictures together. We've had a fun birthday week and the birthday party pics will come very soon in the next post. ENJOY! Thanks for following my little angel, too!
