happy birthday baby boy!

i have to admit...i have always wanted a baby boy. however, i was scared when i found out that i was pregnant with one because i am so used to girls i did not know if i would know what to do with a boy. and then came jackson. what a perfect addition to our family! the first time i saw him on the ultrasound screen i fell in love with him. he warms my heart and brings joy to our family every single day! we had a small party for him today to celebrate his first birthday. colin grilled fajitas and baked him two different cakes (after all, we didn't know if he would like chocolate or vanilla better). watching him eat his cake was something i will never forget! he had two big pieces - one of each flavor - and loved them both...big surprise!

and a happy birthday to grandpa mac, too! we love you and are thankful for you!
