On this here day we have MUCH to be thankful for.

One year ago we were here.

(thanks for the dress Melanie, two baby girls wore it on their Firsts! Sophia did Scarlett proud.)

As if that wasn’t enough reason to be thankful!…..

The world is one better. No, the world is one bestest. Meet Sophia’s future husband.

BFF Juli gave birth to Will at 11:57pm MT on January 31st. We were hoping she’d hold off so they two would share a birthday however, he had different ideas. He was 5 days late and gave his mama quite a run for her money – 24 hours of labor, 4 hours of pushing and – he’s here!!! Juli kicked ass and went through it all without any drugs. This is Juli’s first and I cannot wait to get out to meet him! We have a trip planned for the end of the month.

juli and will

Check out the handknit! It’s a Clapotis, made by me for Juli to labor with, nurse with, and cuddle Will with! It looks awesome wrapped around him.

    Happy Birthday to Little Miss Sophia!

    Congrats to Juli too. Is she still in CO? Maybe I’ll get a chance to see you.

    Will is a cutie and that Clapotis is perfect to cuddle him up in and nurse. Wish I’d thought about that for my sister.

    Sophia! Where did a year go?
    She is so lovely – and so is her little dress.

    Will is gorgeous. What a head of hair. And spoken for so soon!

    Love the clapotis, what a great idea.
