Birthday Bleus


My Beautiful Little Boy Bleu:

As I write to you on the eve of your birth, I am amazed at how fast a year can pass!

It is difficult to believe that one year ago tonight I was still carrying you around safe in my belly...unfathomable at this point to recall that I had yet to meet you-because I can not remember what Life was like without Dashton Bleu Weber!

I remember going to bed so anxious for your arrival...wondering what you would look like- how big or small, and if you'd be ready for the world that awaited.

I will never forget holding you for the first time-immediately after you were born. You remained snuggled in my arms for hours! Pure euphoric bliss for your Mama!

Mostly, you have been a dream baby...sent from Heaven to remind us of the beauty and complexities of Life.

From the beginning, you have had a Voice...
Your Daddy and I have always known when you are not pleased. You can go from "zero to mad" in one second. Nevertheless, it doesn't take much to soothe you, our angel baby, and we adore you beyond words.

You have a smile that touches my soul and a boistrous laugh the makes my heart skip a beat!

You are in awe of Camden and simply cannot get enough of him. Sometimes I look at photos of you both and the resemblance is uncanny, yet you each have your own unique look and personality.

I hope that throughout your lives, the two of you will cultivate an unbreakable bond of Brotherhood and Friendship.

Dashy, without even knowing, you have been a refuge during a sad year for our family. With the loss of our beautiful Aunt Susan Yoder and our sweet Gigi this year, your innocence has lifted us up and given us a reason to smile.

In the span of a lifetime, One Year is the blink of an eye- so many milestones occur, yet they can be blurred by the hustle and bustle of Life.

As your Mama, I have tried to do my best to soak in each and every moment with you: from the first time I held you in my arms, to your first: time meeting your big brother, your smile, bath, giggle, full night's sleep, word (ball), the first time you ate table food, and yes...even the last time you nursed. I have loved and treasured it all and I promise to continue to do so throughout your life!

My greatest wish is that both you and your brother will grow to appreciate the "Little Things" because it is They that make Life so grand!
Thank you, my Little Boy Bleu, for choosing me to be your Mama! Words will never fully capture how much I love you. There aren't even enough stars in the sky to encompass my love!

This first year has been nothing short of wonder and awe and I truly cannot wait to experience many many more!

Happy First Birthday Dashton Bleu Weber...my heart is forever yours!

Love Love Love- Mama

Hey Ya'll-it's official....Fall is HERE!!!
Today was a beautiful, crisp, and cozy day!! We've been anticipating this weather for quite awhile and in celebration of it's arrival we took a family walk today!!
I, Camden Boos, am all about pulling My Dashy in the wagon...it's my new thing! Dashy loves it too because he gets to actually "move" without having to do any work. So typical of my little bro! :)
We are so excited for all the different events that are around the corner...first up this month: Our trip to Ohio this coming Thursday to celebrate Mimi and Grandaddy's 40th Wedding Anniversary!! Wow..that's a long long time!
We are also going to give Dashy B his first birthday party and it will be so special because he will be surrounded by many family members and get to have his first taste of my favorite thing on the planet...Chocolate...aka: CHOCY... "I WUVVVVV CHOCY"!!
When we return to Franklin; Mama and Daddy will take us to the Pumpkin Patch where I will pick out a few punkins and pet some cool farm animals!! I can't wait to show off our super awesome punkin patch to Dashy- he's going to love it!!
Mimi's and Mama's Birthday are in October too!! Such a fun time of year for us!
Let me just say that I'm countin the days til Halloween!! I'm going to be a Pirate and Dashy, a Parrot!! I will pull him around in the wagon during Trick or Treat and run up to houses saying: "Arrrrrr Matey...give me your candy right now....pweeeeze"! I've been practicing a lot!!!

Hope everyone is doing great! Sending Love, Hugs, Kisses and Cuddles from me and Dashton Bleu!!
