I guess our invite got lost in the mail? hahaha. I can't believe that she is ONE? OMG! Was this not the fastest year of your life? Makes me sad! Tell her Savannah said happy birthday!

OH ME! How can 1 little girl change so many lives in so short a time? It has certainly been a year of firsts. First time parents, first time uncle, first time grandparents, first time great-grandparents. Liv hasn't just changed our relationship with her but with each other. I am so proud of the wonderful parents that Erin and Dutch are. Not only has Liv blessed you but she has been blessed by having such loving parents. You are such a sweet family. Liv has even changed my relationship with Ernie..after 30 plus years! I've described it as "falling in love all over again" with Ernie as I see him change from his "all business" demeanor to such a sweet, sensitive Poppy. How can someone so little turn a grown man into mush! It's great!
Well, this is your blog..not mine, so I'd best quit rambling. Happy Birthday Liv! You're the best! Love you with all my heart, Omie
