one year ago today

july 18, 2009 (above) and july 18, 2010 (below)

one year ago today we found out i was pregnant. i later wrote a blog post about it, describing the amazement we both felt and the craziness that was only beginning. i am so glad i've documented this time in our lives and now that we are here, a year later, i could not have imagined what a fantastic experience it has been.

finley is such an amazing being. parenthood is difficult and trying, but so very rewarding. for all of the fussing and (past) sleepless nights, we can easily focus on the smiles and giggles, the baby chatter, and the new found skills that occur almost daily. the love i feel for him and watching mr. h3b love him is indescribable. i am so lucky to be part of this family of 3 (five if you count to dogsons, which we do...) and i look forward to the changes and experiences ahead with wide eyes and open arms.
