Tomorrow is Kate's 1st Birthday! I really can't believe it, and my emotions are many. Of course I am excited and happy that it's her birthday,and yet on the other hand I'm a wee bit sad that she is already so "old". With Kate being our 3rd child, I find myself wanting to embrace and enjoy each new phase and step. With Ethan we were so anxious for him to sit, then stand, and walk... With Kate we have enjoyed that she hasn't been in a big hurry to get around and suddenly grow up on us. We have taken advantage of every little snuggle whether she's willing or not. When I wake up in the morning and know that she's awake, I don't roll over wishing I had just 5 more minutes. In fact, each morning I am thrilled to open her door and see her standing there with her huge toothy grin. She has been a bright spot to our entire family. When we foun out we were expecting, we never could have guessed at even the fraction of joy she would bring to us. Kate is one of our very greatest blessings. We are so grateful she came to our family 1 year ago. We love you! Happy 1st Birthday and best wishes for 99 more!
