Henry's first year

It was a delight to meet you on your "birth" day. You couldn't have planned your arrival better, the same day as my advance purchased plane ticket. Thank you!

You were baby Jesus for the family nativity and played your part very well. Your daddy chose to play Joseph so that you would not be mishandled. We may not be able to see your face, but that little bundle in dad's arm is a tiny Henry.

After the Christmas festivities, you received a name and a blessing and hung out with grandpa and grandma. You were a joy to hold, so soft and warm.


By April, you were helping Dad graduate from college and looking very healthy. It was a very proud day for everyone and we were happy to be there.


Thank you for showing us the correct way to eat cake at the family birthday gathering last night. It was delightful.

Happy 1st Birthday
little one!
