dear finn,
on march 22nd, your dear friend, benjamin krew clark, turned one year old! now, i know this will seem weird to most people, but i'm pretty sure i cried that day. lol jen posted a picture of him on fb, and i cried. i blame it on the pregnancy hormones, but part of me knows i am just so sentimental and will probably shed a tear for you and all your friends on every one of your birthday's. it is a joyous occasion to be a year older, but sad at the same time, because of how fast the time seems to have passed. i'm sure the first birthday is the hardest for mom's.....as much as we love seeing you grow and learn, we want to keep you our precious little babies forever.
i remember vividly the day krew was born. i was so happy for ben and jen and couldn't wait to meet him. i met him a few days later at the hospital, when i went in for an appt for you. i could not get over how tiny he was! he wasn't a small baby or anything, i guess i just never realized how tiny newborn babies are. he had a full head of hair that jen shaped into a little faux hawk....adorable! one thing i can say for certain, is that holding that precious little boy made me more excited than ever to meet you. :)
today we went to riverton to say hi to krew at his birthday party. i am so embarrassed, but for some reason i thought the party was at 6....too bad it started at 4:30. and the worst part of all is that we did absolutely nothing today, so we definitely could have been there on time. :( oh well. at least we got there in time to see him open some of his presents and eat his cake! he wasn't too sure about the cake, haha, it was pretty cute. everything at the party looked wonderful. i think they even had a cotton candy machine!! too bad we missed it, you would have loved that.
i know that you, like i, look forward to celebrating krew's birthday's in the years to come. :)
love,
mom
