happy birthday, kate!

i can't believe that a year ago to this very minute, weston and i were alone with our brand new baby girl. my mom had probably just left the hospital to go stay at our place and we were now 3. kate was so wide-eyed and alert - she just looked around at us and the room like she was taking everything in. she was such a beautiful baby, perfectly shaped head, gorgeous pink skin, beautiful dark eyes. i was in love instantly. talking about it makes it even harder to believe that it was actually 365 days ago! where in the world does the time go? kate was born just before 9pm and the three of us stayed up until about 3am getting to know each other. i wish i had a video of that night so i could just relive, and watch through a different viewpoint, the entire thing. i am so grateful for the blessing that kate is in my life - it may sound trite and cliche, but she is such a blessing to weston and me. she is the first and i am so happy she came to me one year ago.

i love you, kate! happy birthday!
