She's gonna be ONE tomorrow!

YES.

THAT IS RIGHT!!!

Addison turns ONE tomorrow!

i can't believe it.
last year, i went to bed thinking i was gonna have to wait who knows how much longer for my baby girl to arrive. i was three days late and THAT was NOT what i was used to. :) the boys both came 7 days early. needless to say, i wasn't excited about having to wait....

BUT, she was SO worth the wait! there was a little part of me nervous and cautious about whether she really would be a girl. i know it must sound silly but they mess up on those "girl" predictions sometimes and by the time you get to the end of your pregnancy your mind is doing a number on you anyway! we had prayed that God would give us a baby girl and we were SO excited about meeting her.

this year has been amazing. it has been much easier to transition to three children than i thought it would be. we've had our moments...still having moments. i'm a little late most everywhere i go. but, we're still doing all we did before if not more. we haven't slowed down a bit. i guess once you get to this point life just keeps going and you have to go along too.

words cannot express how much FUN it has been to have Addison join our family. the boys bring me such joy and i cannot imagine a life without little boys. truly. BUT, this has been the time of my life being able to enjoy PINK and girlie things and accessories and clothes and hair bows and bloomers and i am having the time of my life!

she is SO sweet. she is so lovable. she is so smiley. she is so happy. she's an awesome sleeper. she's a incredible eater...you would not believe what she can put into that tiny petite body. i love her dearly.

so her party is tomorrow. i have gone way over board in my opinion. i never focused on decorations for the boy's parties. there are so many balloons around here you would not believe. streamers. banners. PINK. PINK. PINK. Anthony thinks i've gone completely nuts! :) we are going to have SO MUCH FUN! my Nanny is bringing the most adorable cakes and we can't wait to start celebrating!

most of all...i thank the Lord for these precious children he's given us. oh, how we love them. what a wonderful day tomorrow will be...celebrating our sweet Addison Grace. this year has FLOWN by and i've never wanted life to slow down more than right now. i'm trying to take it all in. Enjoy. Watch. Love. Hug. Kiss. Play. Laugh. Slow down.

my baby girl is almost 1. i can hardly believe it. what fun we are gonna have tomorrow!!!!
