Happy First Birthday!!!

Look who is ONE today!

It’s so hard to believe this milestone is already here.  Many of you may not have been blog readers a year ago.  And some of you are loyal “followers” and may remember when this little guy came into our lives …this sweet year has sure gone by fast.  Such a wonderful year.   Here’s a little photo tribute for our Sweet Pea.  I can’t wait to spend the day celebrating with him!  I’ll post some birthday pictures later in the week!

Baby

by George MacDonald

Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.

Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.

What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry twinkles left in.

Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.

What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.

What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than any one knows.

Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.

Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.

Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.

Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs’ wings.

How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.

But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.

Thank you for stopping by!

    Very Happy Birthday to the little sweet pea…Such a good idea, how you charted his growth with the sign and date. I wish I had thought of something like that…such a lovely poem too…Have a wonderful day celebrating!

    oh, he is adorable! i like how you did the little hand-written signs for the month milestones.

    i’m wondering how in the world you find time to make all this gorgeous jewelry when you have 4 young sons!! it is good that you have this blog and the jewelry as creative outlets.

    hugs to all of you and happy 1st b’day to the little guy!
