This picture pretty much says it all! YIPPEEEE! Carlos is 1!!!! Can you believe it? So I started thinking about how to celebrate his birthday a couple of months ago. The actual day of his bday was the day after school ended and Sophia and Diego both had a dance recital to get ready for so I knew that weekend was out. So I planned it for the weekend before and it turned out to be a pretty good weekend for it- Memorial Day weekend! I decided to go with a Fun in the Sun theme. There is something about a smiling sun that just makes me happy. We made it a small family affair. Ha! If you know our family- we don't come in small!!! But I really wanted it to be about all about my Carlitos. If I could write how much it means to me to have those close to me at my son's birthday party... I just can't put it into words. My children are SO loved and it just moves me to tears.
My sweet Carlos- you have been such a true joy! Every single thing about you makes my heart smile. You are a gift from God, a piece to the puzzle and one of the loves of my life. As I've watched you sleep in my arms for the past 12 months, I have come to realize the miracle of God's love for us- only HE could make me feel the way I do about you. Your smile, your hugs and listening to you laugh fuel me to be a better mother and a better person. I've said it before- it is such a privilege to see you grow and I cannot wait to celebrate all the milestones you have ahead of you. I will walk beside you, guiding you along the way.
