February 26, 2008 our lives changed forever. I could never have imagined how much I could love someone until Shannon came along. Here we are 1 year later and I can't begin to think of life without her or before her for that matter! As many people say "what did I do with all my time before I had a baby??!!" I'm guessing Todd and I did a lot of sleeping and wasting time.
My whole life family celebrations have always been big. From graduation parties to communions to birthdays, I've always loved gathering together with family and friends to enjoy the celebrations of life. Shannon's first birthday followed right along with that tradition. At a local Irish restaurant/pub we all gathered to celebrate the big "1"! It was the perfect atmosphere... comfortable, inviting, and familiar to most. Online I found this ceramic plate that everyone at the party can sign. You bake it and it creates a forever keepsake. We look forward to using this birthday plate for years to come.
