Yesterday, March 22, was your dad's birthday! And it was just the best! You spent part of the day with grandma and grandpa, where you made the world's most adorable birthday card with grandma...
Those hands are "actual" size and popup off the page. Ha! So awesome!
We spent the evening at grams and grandpa's house where daddy, grams, grandpa and uncle Taylor cooked on the grill, while auntie Gina, cousins Isla and Louis, you and I played and caught up. The cake I made for your daddy was a total disaster so I brought some cupcakes instead! They were fun. Of course, grams and everyone outdid themselves with the menu (per usual). It was wonderful.
It was really amazing seeing you interact with your cousins this visit, Maeve! They spark something inside of you that nobody else does! You try so hard to keep up with them, and love when they read to you and play with you. And they cracked you up a dozen times last night! It is just so special, and reminds me of my own childhood and my most special memories growing up with lots of cousins. Even though it was past your bedtime when we got home, you were still excited from the visit! So much so that you tried to do flips on our bed before going down for the night! It's almost like you didn't want the night to end.
So your daddy is one year older! And what a year it has been. I've watched him love and take care of you (and me) so naturally and gracefully. I've always known he would be a good dad, but wow, has he exceeded my expectations times a million. You already know how special he is, but I'll just remind us both here. He's the best person I know. I truly don't know how it is that I deserve him. That's the purest way I can describe him. And just so very very loved by so many people. We are so lucky to be his.
