The Years Are Short

A friend once told me that after having a child, you come to realize that the days are long but the years are short.  I wasn't quite sure if I agreed with that, until a year went by in a blink of an eye. 

I hate to dwell on what J and I were going through a year ago.  My eyes tear up, and my heart hurts when I look back.  It was such an emotional roller coaster.  Now, I see my little bug growing up, and I want to tear up with joy!  He's become such a strong little boy.  While he may not be the size of most one year olds, he certainly has come a long way developmentally.  We are so proud.  I cannot tell you how proud we are of our little guy.  He amazes us every day. 

This past weekend, I wrote all of our pictures to CDs and spent hours looking through each picture from this past year.  I can't help but share a few.
