Emmett's first birthday

I cannot believe that it's already been a year since Emmett's been born.  It's so cliché but time flies especially with baby number 2.  As I look back on this past year, I feel so blessed and my heart is so full.  I am grateful for my family, friends, co-workers, church, and those that continue to surround us in prayer, love and support.  It is true when then say it takes a village to raise children.  Without you we would be drowning but because of you we are able to enjoy these moments.  So, a big thank you and we love you!!

My sister once told me that whatever I do for my firstborn I must do for my secondborn.  And I agree with her.  When we had EV I never even thought I would be able to have a second.  It was such a struggle to get pregnant with her, she was our miracle baby and I couldn't imagine a miracle happening twice.  So, we went all out for her.  I am glad that we did because with every celebration it's an opportunity to give thanks to God and for our family and friends.  Well, we have been blessed to experience two miracles in our lifetime, their names are Evangeline and Emmett.  So, as I promised my sister, we had a first birthday celebration as equal to EV's to celebrate Emmett.  No more, no less.  Happy first birthday, my son.  You are loved and cherished.  I hope and pray that you grow to become a man of God, integrity, humility, love, and gentleness.  Your smile melts my heart everyday and it makes me proud to be called your momma!!
