I can't believe Hayden is one year old today. This past year has been one of the most trying and challenging of our lives due to the loss of both my Grandma and Steve's Mom. But because of Hayden, it has also been the most blessed and joyous year of our lives.
I've said it many times in the past 12 months - thank God for Hayden. She is an angel from heaven, a gift from God himself. I am overcome with joy as I celebrate my baby's first birthday, yet I simultaneously mourn the loss of the fleeting infant stage.
I am so forever changed by her arrival and so grateful for her and for Steven and the beautiful little family we have become.
September 2nd will always be such a special, special day for me. Twelve months ago, Steve and I took a short car ride to Froedtert Hospital - our last forever as a family of two. Today, we are the beaming, proud parents of a delightful, one-year-old little girl. Happy Birthday, Hayden! We love you!
