We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped us celebrate Greydon's first year down here.
We always dreamed of having a baby, and certain little things that might not seem like a big deal weave themselves deep into your anticipation. We always looked forward to the day when we could send out birth announcements, we would show each other layouts we both liked, color schemes that made us smile or pictures of cute babies that made us chuckle. When Greydon came so early we were blind sided and never got around to getting a birth announcement made.
We always knew we would have a big room bursting get together the day of our child's blessing. Greydon's blessing was in the depth of winter, fresh from oxygen tubes and with a doctor's approval only with the strong instruction to make it a dash to the church and no visitors at the house.
Those little projects that you get to have only when you're a parent pale in comparison to what it has meant to us actually being parents. But they were moments dreamt of none the less, and it was sweet and special to be able to send birthday invitations that quite intentionally looked like birth announcements and to have a yard busting group of family, and friends who we call family, come and celebrate his day with us.
Thank you again for giving us the gift of a little of your time. And yes, we are already discussing plans for next year. Do two year olds appreciate live music, floor shows and sky-writers?

Happy Birthday to Greydon! I can't believe he's one... It truly is amazing how much bigger he is from when he was first born. I too, love the fact that you keep placing the blue bear in all of his pictures! Congratulations!
It was a great time! I am glad we could make it. He is so friggin' cute, we love you guys!
Sad we missed all the fun. What a great celebration!
Everything was perfect, it was great to see friends, and make a couple new ones, and the yard looked so fantastic. I am glad your pictures turned out as well as they did, you really captured the spirit of the day.
Honored to be a part of it....
