Happy 1st Birthday, Baby Brody!

I can't let this special day end without writing a little something commemorating the occasion.  What a wonderful year it has been!  I just don't know what we would do without our little Brody.  He has brightened our lives and our home with his smiles and his laughter.  He is his Mommy's beautiful angel, his Daddy's little buddy, and his big brother's best friend.  We all love him to pieces.  Evan describes him perfectly when he says, "He's so sweet and cute!"  Yes, Brody, you are!  We enjoyed a wonderful day with you today although we had your big birthday party last weekend.  The weather today was perfect, and we played outside and just enjoyed the special time with you.  We look forward to watching you grow and develop into a handsome and amazing little man in the coming years.  Mommy hopes that those years don't go quite as fast as this past year though.  

Here is a little video that makes me smile and cry as I remember the joyful occasion of your birth:
