Happy Birthday Claudia!

It has been a little hectic here lately (everyone has been sick and we've been preparing for Claudia's party this weekend...praying for good weather!!) But I wanted to wish my beautiful amazing lovely little Claudia a Happy First Birthday YESTERDAY!!!!!!! I literally can't believe it was a year ago I was terrified and nervously waiting ALL DAY at the hospital for the O.R. to open up (July 5th was apparently a busy day for c-sections as I was scheduled for noon and couldn't go in until 6 p.m.) The worst was that I hadn't been able to eat or drink since the night before. But of course, it was all worth it and I am madly in love with my little angel. We had a little bit of red velvet cake for the girls and Shaun and I yesterday and I have some adorable messy cake face pictures, but haven't had the time to edit them yet...sorry. So for now here are some pictures from a year ago. It's funny because I can still feel the exact emotion I was experiencing when I look back at each of these pictures. Terrified on the way to the hospital...sad to leave Maddie for the first time...NOT in the mood to have my picture taken!

Pensive...in the waiting room for hours.

And finally sweet relief and pure bliss with my little baby!!!

And here she is a year later...wow time flies.
