Eric is One!

It's amazing how many "firsts" can be crammed into one year! First breath, first smile, first laugh, first cold, first vacation, first tooth, first word, first step, first tantrum...

Life has certainly changed for us this past year, too.

I have a new appreciation for sleeping past 6:00 (though early morning snuggles with a warm-jammied baby seem like a good trade-off).

Dining out has been replaced by take-out.

I don't go anywhere without diapers and Goldfish crackers.

The house looks like we have daily tornadoes.

A half hour to myself is usually spent catching up on bills, or washing dishes.

Most of Christian's and my conversations inevitably turn to the "incredible and hilarious" thing that Eric did that day.

Eric, you are an answer to prayer, and you have brought so much more joy, love, laughter and sleepless nights to our home than we could have ever imagined. We are so thankful to God for letting us be your parents!
