ONE YEAR!

Well, its weird. One year ago our lives completely changed when Emma decided to join the fun of the outside world. She may have come early, she may have come sideways, but she came with a furry of laughter and fun. It is the weirdest feeling to know how much she has grown, how different she is every day, and how much the worst day can go to the best day with just one squeal. Because this year has been such a joyous blur, I picked a semi random bunch of pics from the last year to remind of us all the stages of Emma. And I left them out of order because of that blurriness. . it has nothing to do with the fact that when I uploaded them they got out of order and I didn't want to spend an hour trying to re-organize them. Nothing at all, so move along. Happy first b-day to the most precious gift we could have asked for!
