Happy 1st Birthday, Claire Emmanuelle!

My firstborn daughter turns one year old today! What a difference a year makes…

We will be spending the day preparing, and celebrating at her first birthday party where I hope to finally get some updated pictures of my big girl with her loving family.

Claire, you know that I could write a novel describing my love for you. But I will choose not to on this blog, and hope that my future words and actions will prove stronger than any words. So for now, I leave you with this:

“If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been.”
-Robert Brault

Love,
Your Proud Mother
