Happy Happy Birthday...

Dear Landon,

Happy, happy birthday, kiddo! One year ago today (almost exactly to the minute) I watched you come into this world and take your very first breath. I remember thinking that of all the places I have traveled to in this big, big world, nothing I had ever seen was as special and wonderful and miraculous as you.
My heart melts when you smile and laugh, my heart breaks when you cry. I love your pudgy little hands and feet and how you think I'm sooooo funny when I sing or make funny voices to you.
I want you to always find joy in the small things in life...I am trying to be better at that because of you. You find joy during bathtime, you find joy outdoors riding through the woods with your mom and dad, you find joy when you eat something good, or when someone you love walks into the room. Always cherish these things and try really hard not to take them for granted...these are the things that will bring you true happiness.
I am so blessed by you and love you so very much! Happy 1st birthday, Landon!

Love,
Aunt Laura

  1. Happy Birthday Little One! Although you and I don't know each other, I hear from your Aunt Laura that you're pretty swell, so I just know I'd have a blast hanging out with you. Maybe someday we'll meet and I'll show you how to "puff" away clouds, and then you can show me a thing or two!

  2. Landon is so blessed to have such a wonderful aunt! His uncle is pretty special, too! I know Landon will grow up and have a really unique and special relationship with both of you, filled with lots of joy and tons of fun and most importantly - love to fill the universe!
