Kaitlynn's 1 year pictures

Kelly & I headed to Clix Studio Portraits to have Kaitlynn's 1 year pictures taken! Enjoy!!

KAITLYNN IS *1*

It truly is hard to believe that this time last year, we welcomed our daughter into the world. I spent some time this morning thinking about August 20, 2009. Kelly & I headed to my 38-week check-up with Dr. Walters that Thursday morning not knowing that our life was about to completely change! With the amount of contractions I was having for the past two weeks, we were sent to Northside Hospital (for the 3rd time) to deliver our daughter via c-section. So many emotions went through our minds that day. We are both so proud to have a beautiful daughter in our lives and cannot wait to see what all will unfold in her 2nd year of life! Take time to enjoy some flashback pictures of Kaitlynn over this last year.
