i can hardly believe my baby is now ONE! you have grown up so fast. on sunday, daddy noticed that your wrist fat was dwindling (my favorite of your baby fat!) and when he showed me i began crying, right there in sunday school. this past year has cultivated more love then i ever imagined possible. Bowen, you have literally blessed my life beyond measure. it's so amazing that such a huge soul can be bottled up in such a tiny body! from the day we brought you home your spirit has inspired me to be a better person, mother, wife, and friend. as i reminesce of all the joy and love we have shared while you've been with us, i can't help but be excited for what the future holds. nevertheless...i pray this growth of your slows down a bit, and that i take more time to enjoy the little moments, the ones that matter. please continue to laugh, it is contagious, and those around you will recognize the joy in the small things too. always pray. Heavenly Father loves you. He hears you. and He can help you. continue to explore. you will find many adventures in this life, take advantage. take time to be still. watch the rain, look at the stars, play in the grass, and sometimes just be still. and last but most important, know that you are loved beyond measure and always, always love back!
i love you. Happy Birthday!
love,
Momma
p.s. check out how handsome you are...i believe you get this from your father!

hapyy birthday!!!! eat lots of cake!
Marci, I loved that. You are such a wonderful mommy! I really look up to you. And what a BEAUTIFUL picture of Bowen! You will treasure those forever. I sure hope he had a wonderful first birthday! Kind of a bittersweet milestone, isn't it? I cried on Jack's!
Marci you are such a great mom. Bo is lucky to have such a great example and role model in his life. Mr. Bowen Happy Happy Birthday little one. Eat lots of cake! Love the pictures Marci he is beautiful!
Wow! It's a "wee bit emotional" reading a letter from my baby to her baby. Needless to say I am now crying like a baby! Bowen is so blessed to have you as his mother not to mention his amazing father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins...An incredible family legacy of faith, courage, and love that he will continue on through gernerations to come!
Loveyatons! Mom
No Way,.. One already? It seems like we just had lunch and he is still 5 months old!! He is so beautiful! Happy Birthday beautiful boy!
MARCI....SO CUTE! Okay, just so you can hear it again I like the majority of them....but if I had to narrow it down I would choose 2, 12, 14, and 17. It's hard to decide when there are so many good ones, huh!
