Dear Brooks {Happy 1st Birthday}

Sweet, sweet Brooks: today you are one!! You have blessed each of us with your sweetness each day of this past year. We are all so thankful that you belong to us and it has been pure delight watching you grow by leaps and bounds and develop into your own little person. You are smart. You are sweet. You are tough. You are funny. You are active. You have the very best smile and it is so incredibly infectious! You have affected all of us by your addition to our family and it has been such a joy as your mommy to watch how your brothers have grown because of your presence. They have become protectors and nurturers and are just tickled at every new milestone you reach. They are your biggest fans and you are theirs. I pray for your relationships each day and hope that you three will always be blessed with the strength you draw from each other. We love you to the moon and back, Brooks William! This year has been marked by so much growth and change. We are excited to watch you as you continue to develop your personality and find your place in our world. We pray that you will always know you are loved-- by your family and by your Heavenly Father who watches over you and has great plans for your precious life! 

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." Zephaniah 3:17 

I love you sweet boy! Happy birthday!
