One Year Ago

As Elise's first birthday approaches, I can't help but think back about the past year with our baby girl.  It's been a whirlwind of amazing moments.  There were times we thought we might not survive, and times we wondered how we could possibly be so blessed...but mostly the latter.  :)  Before we focus on the here and now, our little lady turning 1 next week(!!!), let's take a look back at what was happening a year ago.

We sure have enjoyed this precious time with our baby girl over the past year, and we are super excited to celebrate little miss Elise next weekend at her ladybug-themed birthday brunch!  Here's what the invitation looks like, for those of you back home who we sadly couldn't fly here for the party.  You can't see it below, but it also included the following poem on the actual Evite.

A year has passed, how time has flown.

We can't believe how Elise has grown.

She's sweet and cute and oh so fun.

Our little lady is turning 1!
