Happy Birthday, Roy Austin!

One year ago today, God blessed our family with little Roy Austin...




I can't believe that today we will celebrate the milestone of his first year of life. I know all parents say this about their children, but it's so true: this year has flown by and he's grown way too quickly...









Roy Austin, it was so hard to imagine how you would fit into our family, and now I cannot imagine you not being a part of us! I said this to you the day you were born and I'll say it until the day I die: I can't believe I get to be your Mommy! God couldn't have blessed us with a sweeter boy. You have brought nothing but joy and wonder into our family's life and we love you more than words could ever say. Happy 1st Birthday, sweet boy!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Little Roy Austin with all the hair and the big blue eyes.

I'm so glad I got to smooch on him at least once anyway. I hope you had a fun party weekend.

Happy Birthday to our sweet Roy Boy. We just got in, and I went to check my emails and your blog right away. I was expecting that you'd already have a whole blog on the wonderful party, but the one for Roy's birthday has to come first. Donna, I can't tell you enough what a great job you did for little Roy's first birthday party. I'm so proud of you, and everyone had such a good time. You need to go into business as a party planner!! It IS hard to believe that the little guy is a year old all ready. I, too remember the day he was born, and it seems like yesterday. Thanks for the beautiful pictures you posted of him. He is such a blessing, and we are so fortunate to have him in our family. Now....I'll be waiting for the party blog tomorrow!! ILY
