I’m not sure there’s a better way to spend time away from my own family than with wonderful families like the Winters, especially when I get to help them celebrate their youngest turning one.

I know the year has flown by and while that first birthday is sometimes bittersweet for mamas and dads as their baby turns the corner to toddlerhood, but with a good-natured little love like Nolan, there are lots of beautiful, amazing memories ahead.

Happy O-N-E sweet Nolan!
