A Year In Pictures

Before you were conceived
we wanted you.

Before you were born
we loved you.

Before you were here an hour
we would die for you.

This is the miracle of life.

 Jackson Graeme is one today. Not quite a boy,not quite a baby.

It is bittersweet. Watching him grow, change and learn is amazing. Sometimes i feel like i'm not savouring the moments enough.  I'm trying for extra long hugs, snuggles, book reading and playing each day. I know in 18 years i'll look back and remember those moments.I hope in 18 years, he looks back at our account of his first year on this earth, and will know how much he changed our lives. Really, he made our lives. 

His first birthday is a snow day. 

We'll start it off with some yummy pancakes, and spend the day tobogganing, playing, and snuggling. We have no fantastical plans for today, his big party is on Saturday, and i'm pretty sure he's stoked. (He told me)

He'll get to open his presents from Mommy & Daddy, and Grandma tonight though, and he just might get to finish off the day with a special treat.

Between work, and party prep, this is a busy week (also digging out from the blizzard!) I will return with plethora's of pictures from his 1st birthday, and his super fun party.
