    Default Holy Crap...it's been 1 year!

    Today is Logan's one year post op! I can't believe it's been a year already! Just thinking back to my feelings this time last year and I am a mess! I wonder if this anniversary will ever not feel emotional?

    I am so thankful for the wonderful outcome, and believe it or not, the experience. I feel like my family has conquerd the world and are so much stronger both in our relationships and in ourselves. Logan is a perfectly rotten, terrible 15 month old! I am so lucky!
