Happy Birthday Nolan



It's days like today when I wish I was a really great writer! How to express what Mark and I are feeling today is just impossible! On this day 1 year ago at 4:08 a.m. Nolan Bradley Jansen was brought into this world. And our life was changed in the most incredible way! He has given us indescribable love, joy, and happiness! He is tons of fun, silly, stubborn, and so bright! We can't wait to see where God leads him and our family in the years to come! Enjoy the movie of pictures and video from his amazing first year. It's long...but how do you put 365 days of memories into just a few minutes! Nollie we love you!

Okay, Abby, I just LOVE this post (and your blog). Our little girl is almost 3 months old, but I know it's going to fly by so quickly, like I'm sure it has with Nolan! You have to tell me how you make these slideshows...I would love to know. I love the music you put to them; they are so sweet. I would love to add them to our blog...can you direct me to some instructions? Thanks and Happy New Year!
