my sweet nephew turned ONE last thursday! i can't believe it -- i really feel like the last twelve months flew by (maybe we had a lot going on??). he has brought {much needed} joy and hope into our family -- such a little gift from God. i'm not sure how much a one-year-old can actually know in his mind, but i hope he knows how incredibly loved he is -- i've never seen so many people just be so crazy over a little guy! i'm so thankful to have a front row seat to watch his life play out. here are a few of my favorites from his first twelve months:
if you know me, you know i LOVE birthdays, so i was pumped to help celebrate mr. whit this weekend. my sister-in-law, teri, threw a great party (and maybe luke helped a little, too). can you even handle how cute that balloon wreath is??
whit, of course, loved his cake -- a man after my own heart.
so on our drive back to norman, we had ben rector on shuffle for a while. his song, "hank," came on and i just sat there wiping tears from my eyes thinking about whit! if you haven't heard this song, get a tissue out. (i wish i could change the first line, and change "uncle" to "aunt," but come on, just pretend.)
your aunt cara jane is loves you, whitley!! can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays with you!!
