On the day that Owen was born

"On the day that Owen was born

On the day that Owen was born

On the day that Owen was born

the angels sang

and they blew on their horns

and they danced- they danced!

They smiled and raised up their hands 

and they danced, they danced

on the day that Owen was 

being born.

Right now someone somewhere is being born

Somewhere right now someone is being born

Right now someone somewhere is being born

And the angels are singing and their blowin' on their horns

And their dancin', their dancin'

Their smilin' and raisin' up their hands

'Cause right now somewhere someone is being born

Raisin' up their hands...

On the day that each one of us was being born."

Happy birthday my wonderful, beautiful, incredibly happy baby boy!  Goodness, I can hardly believe that an entire year has come and gone so quickly!  

You are on. the. move!   

A boy full of energy and wonderment- everything is an exciting new discovery just waiting to be understood.  Oh how I love you so.  Each day of my life is brighter because you are in it.  Thank you for all of your sweet, juicy wet kisses, your hugs and wild laughter with each tummy tickle.  And although I am the one to give you presents today, you gave me the sweetest of all- to hear you say "Mommy" perfectly in your little voice melted my heart and made the whole world OK, if just for today.  

Happy first birthday Owen!  Now, let the celebrations begin!
