A year ago today, we all looked different.
My beautiful wife, Erica, was bravely packing a belly full of Jo-Jo.
Little E (aka Caroline) was still sporting her baby fat and impressing us with her version of the terrible twos.
Henry was happily introducing the world to his new baby sister.
I was sporting a seriously overgrown third trimester sympathy beard for Erica.
And Joey...well Joey was just pissed to be out of the friendly confines of Mom's belly.
Below is a picture of JJ moments after being introduced to the pains of being held like a newborn cat. Seriously, I should have gotten the name of that nurse.
Anyway, we are blessed to have little Josephine and a healthy and happy family.
And so it is on this first birthday for little Joey. We'll leave you with Josie's first birthday cupcake.
No one crushes cupcakes quite like this little girl. (Okay, maybe Jim does too, but other than those two I can't think of anyone else)
Happy birthday, squirt! Love, Mom, Dad, Henry (Hulk Smash - Humongosaur) and Caroline (the big sister).
