Happy Birthday Addison!

It is hard to believe that one year ago yesterday we spent all day at the hospital and at 12:15am on August 7th our little Addison was born. It is even harder to believe that today we would have a one year old! The last year has been a whirlwind and we have missed having Addison around, but we know that the Lord's plan for us is much bigger than we imagine (especially having just found out that we have twins on the way!). Today we got some flowers and decorated Addie's grave along with a gift from our friend Megan, and some flowers from family and friends. We took some pink balloons with us and let them go and plan on making that our tradition. Andi also asked a sister in are ward to decorate a birthday cake for Addison and it was AMAZING! We had some friends over and sang to our Addison. Thinking of what a difficult time we had letting her go and of all the love our family, friends, and neighbors showed we know we are very blessed. We know that there are many others thinking of Addison today. We know she is looking down and preparing her twin siblings to come to our home!

Happy Birthday Miss Addie! You guys are the best parents and I can't wait for the new arrivals :) I know you said you're taking bets later but I bet you get one of each... one little Curtis and one little Andi.

I've been thinking about Addison and you guys this month. It is amazing to realize the Lord did have something so wonderful in store for you (i.e. twins). I love the way you celebrated her birthday! And the cake is beautiful!

Much love
