One year ago today, after a very long month of waiting, but three months too soon, Colin and Veronica entered this world kicking and screaming. It has been a wild ride filled with much worry and great joy. It has been filled with what feels like 2,000 doctor appointments, 2 surgeries, dozens of milestones — some reached earlier than expected, some later.
We have been blessed by the support of family, friends and neighbors. We have met countless people who did not know us (or did not know us well), but who never the less cared about and cared for our babies.

| Colin at 12 months. |
Colin has progressed from a tiny baby weighing the same as 6 sticks of butter and who couldn't breathe on his own to an active little crawler who weighs 16 pounds now.

| Roni at 6 weeks. |

| Veronica at 12 months. |
Veronica has grown from a 3 pound 6 ounce baby into an active 20 pound baby girl who is working on figuring out this whole walking thing and who is mostly caught up with other babies her age.
So today we celebrate a milestone we weren’t even sure we would ever see 12 months ago. And while I’m hoping for a less-eventful second year, I feel blessed (and really tired) by our little miracles.
Happiest of First Birthdays, Babies and Family. :-)))
