One Year Old Today!


 And before I continue with our Squamish adventures . . .
there is an important day to take note of!


Dearest Everly,

On this, your first birthday, I need to tell you a secret.
Really, I don't know if I've seen a baby more cherished and cheered
by her siblings in her first year of life.
Cuddled, protected, rejoiced in and cared for as the prized possession you are!


A precious gift from heaven above!


It's a baby year that I did not want to rush . . .
as in looking for its 'firsts' . . . 
knowing that time will take care of it much too quickly ...


and yet, the joy of seeing you grow and come to know us
makes everything just right the way it is.


We love your sweet smiles
and your outgoing nature already noted 
by your hellos, cute waves and kisses.
May the confidence given you by everyone around you
and the God who made you who you are
continue to cause you to be a little light
shining joy to those around you.

Happy Birthday, Evy!
XOXO
Papa and Mimi

How can it be that Everly is one year old already? She is as sweet as ever "ly"!!! I am in heaven over here because my little sweet Noa is visiting from the West - am treasuring every minute and moment too! She is almost 2 months already.
