Vaan's First Holiday

Labor Day, 9/3/12, was Vaan's first official holiday.  It was a perfect day: Dad was off, aunt Erica, Uncle Sean, Grandpa Jim, and Grandma & Gandpa Stu came to visit, and we were able to make dinner on the grill.  Labor Day has always symbolized the end of summer as school started, fall sports began, and Dad's (Grandpa Jim's) pool closed.  Summer has always been anticipated and fall has always been welcomed with new, exciting adventues and events.  I have to say, this summer, was probably the most anticipated summer of my life with the birth of Vaan.  It was on my mind each and every day since the beginning of last October.  July 5th, 2012 was above and beyond all of it's anticiaption and hype; it was the most amazing day of our lives as we wecolmed the new addition to our family.  As we pass my "end of summer mark", I am excited for fall, as I have always been, but for new reasons.  Each day Vaan grows and amazes us with the "newness" of what he can do.  I am thankful for each and every day I have with him and even though I hate how the days get shorter, I can not wait for long days of playing, giggling, and growing.  Happy Fall!  Stay tuned for Vaan's 2 month mark...!
