Hoversten Haven

Well...it's official. We no longer have a baby anymore. Last Sunday afternoon we had Jakson's one year birthday party. It was such a fun day and Brett and I were grinning ear to ear the whole day. It was such a blessing to be able to share our joy with our families. Jakson had sooo much fun opening his gifts and eating cake. He was quite the character that day. It's amazing what characteristics a few new toys will bring out too. He was driving his new cars/trucks around making truck noises and he figured out how to rock the rocking horse on his own. Tear...tear. If you thought I was a mess Sunday, you should have seen me on his birthday. I was a happy mess though. Every single time I looked at the clock last Wednesday, I was thinking back to what I was doing one year ago. So, basically most of the day I was recalling my 19 ~~long~~ joyous of labor in the hospital room. :) One year ago today, Brett and I just left the hospital, without Jakson, and started doing our daily trips to the NICU to visit him. We will celebrate his one year of being at home on November 12. What a fun year it has been. I remember EVERYTHING too like it was yesterday. I can't wait for more babies, more parties to host, and more stories to tell.
