11 years ago today our lives changed forever....we were no longer just Ali and Chris...we were blessed to receive our new names...Mom and Dad. I remember the first time I looked down upon this sweet face and when I remember how much I loved this child in that instant it still amazes me. What I didn't know is that I would continue to love him more and more each day.
I was telling Connor about his first birthday this morning and confessed that I cried while buying him balloons for his party. I was so sad that I didn't have a baby anymore! Can you believe that I also cried (a bit) this morning watching him walk out the door with his boxes of donuts? It hit me that this will be the last time that we do the birthday treat ritual for school. How did 11 years go by so fast?
Happy Birthday Connor!
We love you so much and hope you have a wonderful, joyful and healthy year ahead.

I spent the day trying to make today special. (This is about the extent of my cake decorating skills; thank goodness he appreciated the effort!)
I also treated him to a batch of his favorite cookies. "Nana cookies!"
Caroline was my big helper and placed the candles in the cake.
"Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear Connor, Happy Birthday to YOU!!"
And this is what he bought with Dad tonight at Best Buy! It took all his birthday money, but he was
thrilled when he came home!
An unrelated picture but one I wanted to share nevertheless. This is how Caroline has been spending
most of her free time....with her nose buried in books! Makes my heart flutter~I love that she is a bookworm like her mama :)
