One Year Ago Today

On this day last year, Jalen was sealed to us for time and all eternity. He slept through the ceremony and was pretty somber in all the photos, but it was a marvelous day. We knew our family was complete.

It seems like so long ago when we went to the temple. I can't believe it's only been a year. Jalen is such a blessing in my life. I have always wanted a little boy and Jalen is all boy. He loves to head butt people and belly bump. His smile lights up a room. He has huge dimples and deep dark eyes. He is so tough, bouncing off walls and falling down without missing a beat. He's also a super cuddler and gives great hugs. It's overwhelming how my heart overflows for this little man.

If for no other reason, I know he's my son because he really loves popcorn. Popcorn is a Bayles family staple.

I am humbled by the miracles that have made us a family. But I have no doubt that we were supposed to be together. I am so blessed to share my life with these special people.

P.S. Girl's Camp was a blast!

Congratulations!!! One year down...100 to go! HAHAHA!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a whole year. It doesn't seem that long to me at all. Maybe because we had your announcement/invitation on our fridge for such a long time. I am so happy for you. I remember when all the craziness of the adoption started and now it is more than a year later. WOW! Congratulations again.

Love ya!
