Happy Birthday, little boy

Finn is one today. A year ago we had no idea what to expect, and now we have this little guy with Jonathan's eyebrows, my cheeks, and more silliness than both of us combined. Squared. He walks. He feeds himself. He dances. He squinches up his eyes when he grins hello. And sometimes it's hard to remember what life was like before he was here. Happy birthday, Finn! We love you.

It's strange to me that things like going over to Grandma's on the weekend aren't a part of Finn's life like they were mine (at least not right now), and this one-way communication is a poor substitute for seeing family and friends that we wish we could spend more time with. But with as hectic as our lives are these days, this blog has been a way to make ourselves slow down and be in the moment during times when it would be all too easy to just focus on getting through the week. So thank you all for reading it.

Happy first birthday Finn boy! You are such an amazing little guy. Here's to the first of many, many happy days to come!

And we wish we could see you all. Sigh.
