Yep, today is the big day. Feb. 9, 2008, one year ago, we were welcoming you into the world. We had no idea about what we were about to experience, but we felt prepared. We felt ready. We (well, I) had read tons of books, talked to tons of moms, received advice, and prayed. However, we were still not ready for what was about to happen. Laura Beth was about to be in our arms and needing us. What joy we have found in that!
It has been the BEST year of our lives! Laura Beth is the best thing that Steve and I have ever done. We are so proud of her! We love our cupcake!
After the birthday party, Uncle Aaron and Da da wasting no time in putting the front-facing carseat into the van. Laura Beth instantly loved it. She loved the new view!
Then yesterday on our way home from church, Laura Beth discovered that the seat was comfy for sleeping too. ha!
On our way to church, we stopped and took some pictures of Laura Beth at a Cypress Reserve here in Greenville. It was such a beautiful weekend to be outside. Laura Beth's cute shirt came from her Gram Berg (Steve's grandmother in Minnesota). Laura Beth was too busy playing with sticks and leaves to smile for the camera. But we did catch a few good shots.
This afternoon, Shelby Reister and Laura Sipes came over for a personal birthday party (BYOC- Bring Your Own Cupcakes) They brought Laura Beth a cupcake, which she loved. Laura Beth is wearing most of her cupcake. ha! It was a really sweet thing for them to do. We love you guys!
All together, Laura Beth's birthday was a fun day. However, we (especially Laura Beth) missed Steve. He was at Seminary today. He got to enjoy the birthday party Saturday, but he will miss seeing her at all today. Don't worry Steve, she pointed to every picture of you in the house and said, "Da da." I haven't heard "ma ma" one time today. ha!
