Feliz Cumpleanos, Hija

Happy First Birthday, Daughter! We are truly missing you today and pray that your day is happy and that you are being celebrated where you are! It's hard to celebrate such a moment from here, but we're trying. We trust God's plan and timing for all of our lives and we know there is a reason that you're not with us just yet.

I received this from the babycenter newsletter today:
Your baby has hit the 1-year mark: Happy birthday! Many view the first birthday as the toddler turning point. Others consider your baby a toddler as soon as she starts walking — or, as the case may be, taking her first tentative steps. However and whenever she crosses the line into toddlerhood, it's a bittersweet transition — you miss your little baby even as you delight in your amazing child.
Yes...we miss our little baby. We cannot wait to delight in our amazing child!!
We love you Carrie... more than you could know!

Happy Birthday dear Carrie! It won't be long before your family gets that blessed call and you arrive at your new home FOREVER!

Hang in there, Conklin family...your long-awaited addition is on her way! I can't wait to rejoice with you when you get the OUT call!
