Birthday Parties!!!

Ayden you have had a wonderful first birthday! On saturday Nov 14th we had a birthday party at home for you. we invited our close friends and daddy’s family. You had so much fun! we spent the morning shopping and cleaning to get ready for the afternoon. You managed to have a nap at 1:00 which was a good thing cause people started to arrive at 2. We had some pop, jucie and coffee for beverages and some chips too. After everyone arrived and settled down, we sang happy birthday to you. It was so wonderful to hear the whole group singing to you!

While daddy cleaned up after you had cake,...

ONE YEAR OLD!!!!

Well little man…we did it…You managed to overcome all the odds and you made it to your first birthday…You are such a wonderful little boy. All the things you have been through over the past year can now be put to rest. You are growing up! You are developing! You are getting quite a personality and you are the love of my life…well aside from your daddy!

It was a very hard time in my life, but nothing compared to what we have been though with you over the last year. Reading back and looking at the pictures, you have come so far and I am so very proud of you….but I am also proud of your dad and I as well. It takes strong people and a strong couple to go though everything we have been through to get you but also to keep you. Never once did we second guess eachother or our relationship.

More Odds n Ends.

So we’re in the homestretch here now aren’t we little guy.. I implore you all out there to leave comments whenever you can as once we post the results of his 1st Birthday the blog will be finished. Any new updates will happen in either of our Facebook accounts. This blog will then get burned to a DVD for Ayden to read through when he’s old enough to get his head around the immensity of the situations he’s gone through. So I was digging through my video’s and here’s a cute one of Ayden taking a bath I think you’ll enjoy.
