Happy Birthday Linkoln Kole

What an amazing gift I have. My heart is so full of love. Never in a trillion years could I have imagined my life as it is right now. Our precious baby boy is turning one. Yes, one already! It seems like just yesterday Sammy and I were on our way to the hospital to welcome Linkoln into the world. I will never forget the first time I saw Sammy holding our sweet boy. It was moments after he was delivered and Sammy, who was once so scared to hold a baby was doing it with such strength and tenderness. The man of my dreams was holding our blessing! Linkoln is such a sweet soul. The joy Linkoln brings in our lives is indescribable. We are forever changed!




Today we had his birthday party. He was beyond great and really enjoyed playing with all of his friends. So many special people helped us celebrate...thank you to everyone for making this such an amazing memory for Sammy and I. I have to give a sincere thank you to my awe-inspiring photographer/friend, Marquette (w/ Simple Treasures). She absolutely takes our breath away with the unbelievable and phenomenal pictures that she captures of our Link. I wanted to get something heartfelt for Sammy to have always, so I asked Marquette if she could put together a slide show of Linkoln's first year. I have never seen anything like it....it was so perfect in so many ways, it was a lovely reflection of our pride and joy....Thank you again Marquette and Thank you to all of our family and Friends for helping us celebrate Link's first year...we luv u dearly!xoxoxo





My dear sweet baby boy,
Words cannot express what you mean to me...but I'm going to try. You are fast asleep hopefully dreaming of the fun filled adventures daddy and I have planned for you tomorrow. I truly cannot believe that a year has already past. A year ago tonight we were in the hospital waiting for your arrival. Daddy and I were both so ready and so scared all at the same time. The first time I laid eyes on you and smelled your sweet skin I knew that you had my heart forever. I wanted nothing more than to hold and kiss you forever and praise God for such a remarkable blessing he had placed in my life. You have forever changed me. You are full of so much charm and joy and you pour nothing but pure bliss into each and everyone one of our lives. You have been more than amazing and I truly thank God everyday for such a precious gift. Linkoln, I am so proud of you and I love you with all of my heart and soul. I patiently waited for you my sweet angel..... you were Soooo worth the wait! xoxoxo! My cup runneth over!

Happy Birthday punky!!!!

He walks...




So about 2 weeks ago Link took his first steps toward me and then to daddy....3 in counting! Since then nothing new until today:) He decided on his own, without mommy trying to make him walk that today was the day. He took about 5 steps with me across the room. He had such determination. By the end of the night he was walking from toy to toy with ease.






I'm so proud of you Link!xoxo
