Dear All,
Today, our son, Colby William is 365 days old!!! Ashley and I can hardly believe how the time has sped past. There were some scary moments (his first week at home when he had his days and nights mixed up which resulted in none of us sleeping well, the few times he cried over long durations for no apparent reason, and when he had hand, foot and mouth virus) but overall we are extremely proud to call Colby our son. His near constant smile and laughter make everything so worthwhile. This first year of life was made much easier by the love, encouragement and support received from each of you -- our family and friends. For this, Ashley and I thank you!!
I thought it would be nice to share some of the well wishes received in response to the birth announcement I sent from the delivery room almost one year ago today. They are shown below. If I neglected to include someones message it was not intentional. We believe Colby will enjoy reading these messages himself one day and we thank you, again, for making his life that much richer.
God bless,
Brian

Great news....especially that both Ashley and Colby "are doing terrific"!!
The picture is wonderful. Give a big hug to Ashley for us, and know that
all three of you are in our hearts and prayers!
Love to all of you,
Karen & Bob
PS - I'm sure they make "Phillies Fan" 'onesies'...if the new Mom will allow
it! (you have to start them early, which is why Guy is as big a Yankees fan
as I am)

| So excited for both of you!!! He is beautiful!!!! Love to all... ***** Congratulations to you both, what an adorable name! ***** Brian, That is great to hear. Congratulations! You and Ashley will make great parents. I can remember bringing Zach home like it was yesterday and we are now just months away from sending him off to college. Try and get some sleep and enjoy every minute of it because some day you will find yourself like me randomly looking at babies in public and really missing it. They grow up too fast. Keep me updated.
