Piper's 1 Year Video

Here is your first year, Piper Collins!

I cannot say how many times I have cried while watching this video as I put it all together. I remember feeling so annoyed with Joe videoing everything while waiting on Piper to be born, and now it is something I will cherish forever. My mom's reaction is one I will never forget. Her smile at the end of the video is everything!

Beau's Best Basketball Game!

Last Saturday was Beau's best basketball game, yet! He played so well and make "3 scores" as he calls it :) He did a much better job of passing the ball, making himself get home, and taking the ball to the hoop. Keep it up, buddy!!

Piper's 1st Birthday Party

Even though you were not feeling well (prior to us taking you to the Pella ER) we celebrating your birthday on Sunday with our family. You are so loved Piper Collins, you don't even know! Your unicorn birthday party was so much fun and you most definitely enjoyed your cake :) Happy birthday baby girl, mommy and daddy love you!

Piper Collins: 1 Year Old

Piper Collins, I cannot believe you are 1 year old. You were just in my belly yesterday weren't you?! You are one amazing baby. You have been our easiest baby so far, and you're brothers were already easy babies to start with! As much as I wanted you to be a boy, there was a reason why I had a girl... why I NEEDED a girl. You have been my saving grace this year. You were everyone’s light in the storm this past summer and you most definitely are what helped keep me alive and moving forward. After losing my own mom and knowing what an inseparable bond we had together, I now know why God wanted me to have a daughter of my own. You are her legacy in me. You are so loved, Piper Collins, and needed more than you will ever know.

You didn't have the best birthday as you were in the hospital with Pneumonia. You were struggling with breathing and getting enough oxygen. But after being in the hospital for 3 days, we were able to bring you home!
