Joshua turns ONE!!!!

Today Joshua turned one!!! WOW, so much has happened in the past year. He has accomplished so much in one year! Last night we set our alarms on our phones to go off at exactly 8:06am(the exact time he came into the world). We played his birthday CD that his uncle Eric gave him which sings Joshua a special birthday song from captain Zoom. We also did a lot of reminiscing of this day a year ago, from how nervous we were driving to the hospital at 4:45 am knowing that in a few ours we would have this tiny little person enter our world and change our lives forever to the unexplainable joy that we felt when we heard him cry for the first time! It was a wonderful day. We went and had a birthday lunch and went shopping for a few things and then we came home and relaxed and played with all the new toys that Joshua got from his birthday party the day before. It was a wonderful birthday weekend. Joshua did really well with his party on Saturday. We had about 34 people there and it was great. Joshua received lots of fun, noisy, light-up gifts, but his favorite of all was the TISSUE PAPER!!!! ha ha!! We just finished putting Joshua to bed and I can't help but to stop and thank God for giving me the best blessing anyone could receive. This past year has been filled with challenges, lessons(lots of lessons), laughter, joy, tears, milestones, and much, much more! Joshua is the BEST!!! I love you sweet boy, Happy 1st Birthday!!!!!!
