Happy 1st birthday baby girl! Tuesday was Caroline's birthday. John and I love to reminisce memories and thinking back to labor, delivery, the sweet time in the hospital and all the joys and changes over the last year was very special for us this week. Our lives changed forever on that day. I had no idea how much LOVE I could have for my child. Life seems more rich and full with C. There have been many tough days, sleepless nights, and overwhelmed feelings, but by God's grace with that came growth as a woman, a mom, in our marriage, the blessing of a healthy child, and many wonderful times too!

Caroline is funny. She is shy and outgoing when she feels comfortable. She is decisive and knows exactly what she wants and does not want. She is pleasant and so easy to take along and be on the go with. She is not in a hurry. She moves at her own pace when she is ready. She loves her sleep, OH how she loves to sleep. She loves music and loves to dance (even to a cell phone ringing). She is so expressive. You can always know how she is feeling by the look on her face. Caroline, we love you more than you could ever know and cannot wait to learn more about you as you continue to grow and change. We have loved celebrating your life this week!
