Happy Birthday, Jackie-Boodie!

Just one short year ago, we were excitedly anticipating your arrival, and now you're a whole year old!

.I will never forget the feeling of intense joy I felt when they announced I had a little boy.

They told me the mother-son bond was unlike any other, and they were right!

You are as sweet as they come, and we are having so much fun watching your little personality unfold.

We know the days, weeks, months, and years will fly by all too quickly, but, as they do, we hope you grow to be a kind-spirited, loving, man of God.

We are so glad that God chose us as your family!

Happy, Happy, Birthday!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, and Gracie
