Happy Birthday Ethan!

I know I'm posting this a day late, but we were so busy with parties and presents that I haven't had time to do much...except for remember that a year ago (yesterday), I was in the hospital, giving birth to this amazing little person. After only 4 hours of (intense) labor, Ethan Michael Pavlenko was born on August 15, 2008 @ 6:14am via cesarean-7 lb. 7oz., 19 1/2 inches long, Ethan was our gift from God. Mark and I, along with our family and friends, love him so much! So, happy birthday Ethan! We love you and can't wait to see what excitement this year will bring!!!
