Down On the Farm..First Birthday Party..

"In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.

WOW..I cannot even begin to express my thanks to everyone who made it out to Jack's Party on Saturday..What a fun time we had! As I looked around about 5pm on Saturday and caught a short glimpse of everyone that was there my heart about burst with joy. I saw so many families, generations..and laughter. What is better than that? We had a blast..there was about 50 people that showed up and it couldn't have been better. My heart is still full from it all! I was so proud that I did not get emotional but twice this whole week, once when reading a letter my Mom wrote to Jack for his Birthday..and the second when I opened the Photo Book that Jena made..the first picture was taken moments after I had given birth to Jack. It's so crazy how you can love someone so much in just a few minutes. I do believe in love at first sight..;) It's been such a wonderful year being a mother. It's truly the best gift that God could ever have given me. We are so blessed to have family & friends like we have. Thank you so much for sharing in a special memory on Saturday at Jack's First Birthday Party. He will never remember it, but I will never forget it.


Here is a link to the photos that I have..there were to many to post ;) You have to copy it and paste it.
