Happy Birthday To Me!

The birthday girl in her birthday dress

We've been doing a whole lot of reflecting this past week and reminiscing about the end of Erika's pregnancy and the whole delivery process of little Ella. It's hard to imagine that it's been a whole year so far; it sometimes just feels like yesterday that Erika went into labor. But the incredible experience of meeting our daughter for the first time has only led into greater and more incredible experiences of raising our little girl. It's sometimes hard to imagine that we could love her anymore but sure enough, each day she just brings us so much joy that we seem to be falling in love with her even more. So, we can only imagine what the next year will bring!

Ella had her first birthday party on Saturday and was certainly the belle of the ball. While the adults quenched their thirst on a keg, the little ones enjoyed some time outside and some rides in Ella's new wagon that her mommy and daddy bought her for her birthday. It was quite the site to see and amazingly, all the babies seemed to enjoy the ride!

I can't believe you are ONE Ella! It seems like just the other day that you were born. The time has flown by so fast. You look adorable in your birthday dress and looks like you had a great party! Happy 1st Birthday, Ella!
