One year ago this very day we got a phone call that answered many years of prayer and brought so much joy into our lives. Elyse finally arrived (2 weeks late) and she would forever be ours. And now I can't believe it, today our little blessing, Elyse turns 1. Happy Birthday Elyse, we love you so much!!! This entire year has flown by and I can't describe my feelings of Elyse turning one. I'm excited to see how she continues to develop, but at the same time have shed a few tears of sadness knowing she's not my little baby anymore, but my little girl. Words can't describe how perfect she is for Nate and I. We love watching her change daily; whether it's communicating, playing, learning or walking (she started last week, but we wanted family and friends to see it in person first this weekend). Overall, I can't thank God and Elyse's birth mother enough for giving Nate and I such a gift. We both treasure every moment we have had with her these past 365 days and look forward to what's ahead.
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ELYSE! We love you so much and always will!
This past Sunday, Nate and I threw Elyse her first birthday party. I want to thank everyone who was able to make it as well as family members who helped me get it all ready. Everything was perfect and went just as I had pictured it the last few months. Plus I think Elyse loved it too but who wouldn't with...

presents,
and of course, cake :)

We feel so blessed to have shared this past year with Elyse! Her party was great! It's ok to cry on her bday..I think every mama does.
Happy birthday, baby girl! The last year has definitely been more wonderful with you in it :0)
Happy Birthday Elyse!! What a special day and many more special times to come. Now that you are walking, watch out mom & dad.

I remembered when you came running into my classroom and said, "Our daughter is born!" I was so excited for you as I know how special having children is.
