1ST YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Your daddy and I went out on our first date since you were born.  It just so happened to be our 1st year anniversary.  You were already 5 weeks old at this point.  It was hard to leave you, but it was great to get out and celebrate our marriage.  We ended up going to Grand Haven and doing the same exact thing we did the night your dad proposed.  Went to The Grand and had sushi and then walked down to the end of the pier and ate the top of our wedding cake that we had frozen for this very occasion.  It was a very special time.  Do you want to know what we talked about the entire night?  We talked about..YOU!!!  Henry, you are the best thing that has happened to us and we love you so much!
 The 1st year anniversary "gift" is supposed to be paper.  Your dad MADE me origami paper flowers.  It was the sweetest thing.  He also put together a calendar for me.  It was a very special gift, one that I will never forget.

 We tried to get a nice picture of us, it didn't happen ;)
We couldn't finish the cake, but I think we did pretty good.  It was a great night, but you were missed little buddy.
