On the Night You Were Born

Happy First Birthday Sydney!

It has been a wonderful year which has flown by- full of adventure and giggles! The weekend was spent celebrating with family and friends, with indoor parties at home. The weather may have been rainy, but it didn't dampen our cheerful spirits as we watched little Sydney shine! We celebrated in the morning with a kids party, with bounce house in garage due to the weather, caterpiller theme with bake pop decorations, and costco favorites as our friends have come to know and expect. Later that evening after a nap, dinner and presents with the family. Sydney gets the idea of opening presents, when her brothers let her have a chance, and enjoyed being the center of attention. Even though she would not touch her cupcake, she loved being sung Happy Birthday! We are eagerly awaiting her first real steps- it is right around the corner, although it has felt that way for a couple of months now, with a step here and there, but no real walking. She is eager to catch up with her brothers and jump in their action, even wrestling in the living room with the boys. We love you! - mom and dad









On the night you were born,
the moon smiled with such wonder
that the stars peeked in to see you
and the night wind whispered,
"Life will never be the same."

For never before in story or rhyme
(not even once upon a time)
has the world ever known a you, my friend,
and it never will, not ever again...

Heaven blew every trumpet
and played every horn
on the wonderful, marvelous
night you were born.
