Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Hope Elizabeth.....

Its sad how fast a year can go by after you have struggled for a short or long period of time to have a family. We struggled for 3 years but they seemed like 5yrs most days when we look back. This year has flown by almost in the blink of an eye. Our precious babygirl who camei nto this world weighing only 4# 11.4 oz is now a sweet toddler. Im sure she weighs close to 23 plus pounds. We shall see friday at her 1 yr checkup.I was sad for a few days as i looked back over the last year. It at times was rough but it has had so many great memories created. I have done my best at taking planty of pictures for her to look back on and to create as many memories and traditions that we can continue with our family as it grows one day. This year has been by far the best year of my life.  We had a birthday party for Hope on sun Oct 3. It was great. We had so many friends who came out to celebrate with us the miracle we have raised this past year. 

Hope's smash cake. It matched the party theme

Digging into the smash cake

YUMMY YUMMY in Her tummy



Look at her face... She Loved the cake

Look at all her gifts. She got a ton of tons and her Toddler bedding set along with room decoration to match it. She made out for a 1st birthday..

I just want to say a big thank you to all our family, friends, and co-workers for all your support during our struggle to start our family and the great amount of support you have given us this last year as we learned all about being a parent to a premiee and watching her grow into a healthy toddler...
