Today we celebrated Emma's '1st' birthday with many friends and family members. Even though I got all teary eyed during the prayer and could not finish the blessing, it was a great day.
Looking back on the past year, we have so much to be thankful for. We would not be in the place we are today without all of the family and friends who surrounded us at our new house today.
Thank you:
Robin & Cheryl, for all of the great home cooked meals during weekends spent in Crookston;
Marcel & Lisa, for a place to call home for a few weeks before the apartment;
David & Mary, for coming down and watching Emma time and time again;
Jenn Steinbrink, for all the Emma-Auntie Jenn naps;
Jenn Sluke, for coming to visit your niece a bunch...I mean A LOT even though you live 20 + hours away;
Matt & Stacy, dinner, company, loyalty, conversation and friendship
Ryan & Kari, all the parenting support and prayer; and
Kayti, for watching Emma on crazy days.
There are so many more people and instances that we are thankful for and please know that your are continually in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for everything you do supporting us in our journey in marriage and parenthood.
God bless you all!
