1 year later...POTD 1-14-07


My little nephew turned one yesterday and today, we gave him a spiderman party! Watching him rip open the paper to his presents was such a joy. One year ago...we were unsure if we would even get to be part of his little life. You see...my SIL got pregnant and didn't know what she was going to do with her baby. She was dating, but didn't know if she really loved the guy, therefore...didn't know what she wanted to do. It was touch and go for a bit and very difficult on the entire family. To make a long story short, she will celebrate her 1 year wedding anniversary in March and little Solomon is very much a part of our lives. I'm grateful today for his one year birthday and looking forward to many more to come.
