The first time I walked up to this door I was greeted by a pair of big blue eyes wrapped in a pink and blue striped hospital blanket.

Tiny as could be.

Then this day- at their doorstep again.

Certainly their storm door is a time machine.

Certainly someone has hit fast forward.

But it seems three hundred sixty five days have passed,

And this cute little toddler staring up at me from behind the glass is indeed that little newborn.

I’d never believe it if it weren’t for those same big blue eyes.

Happy First Birthday, Evie.
