One year ago today — at 9:20am, to be exact — our Aerin Isabel entered this world.
You have taken me through laughter and tears. You have encouraged me to take life less seriously.
But most of all, you have taught me that while there is no way to be a perfect mother, there are a million ways to be a good one.
Happy birthday, my sweets. May you never lose the joy with which you embrace your life.
Love,
Your Proud Mother

What a beautiful post & such adorable, treasured photos! I don’t have children myself (yet….. watch this space!) but I am an Aunty to the two most wonderful little girls, one aged 3 and one aged a little over 1 year – I love them so much and as a regular reader of your blog I am often smiling to myself about the wonderful foibles of children universally! Congratulations on your lovely family – you are blessed, and you clearly appreciate every day xx
