What a Difference a Year Makes

Where does the time go? We had a very busy day today. Carson brought a cookie cake to his friends at the Gwinnett NICU and showed them how big he has gotten. They were very impressed! Then off to Grandma and Grandpa Hess's house for a visit and some lunch. He played so much he was asleep in the car before we left the driveway to come home! Then dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. We released some balloons for both Carson and Cooper and then dove into our presents and our cake. What a day! Here are some pictures from this evening...thank you to everyone for all the phone calls and e-mails. Today was not easy but boy does this little guy and his smile make things better.

So sorry we missed this birthday and christening. Sometimes in the midst of difficulties, it's hard to imagine getting to the next hour or day, much less year. Horray, a year has happened and Carson looks like he is enjoying his cake, which is what he is supposed to do.
Blessings for the year to come, that it will provide the same magic as the past one,
Aunt Suzanne & Uncle Lawrence

Lauren, I am so proud of you! You make such a great mom even though I know this has been a trying year for you. But, now look at Carson!! He's adorable, and is doing so well now. He's lucky to have you and Andrew looking out for him. I miss you...let's get together soon like we've talked about before!

Happy Belated 1st Birthday, Carson!
