The Cross My Heart Duet

    Cassian's first birthday party is over-the-top amazing. Melanie and I really outdid ourselves. I even hired a professional photographer to capture the entire event. It is my gift, being as the child already has more toys than he could ever play with. She captures every precious moment-from his arrival and the excited look on his little face when he sees the gumball balloons to his eyes dancing and him clapping as everyone sings "Happy Birthday" to him before Rick helps him blow out his candle to the epic mess that is him after we strip him down to his diaper and let him have full access to his smash cake. Unfettered joy-his, his parents', and mine.
