On this very day....one year ago!

Dear Tate,

One year ago on this very day at 11:47pm on Sept 13, 2007, a very special boy entered the world. We named him Tate Matthew McClellan. It was you!! This was one of the very best days of Mommy and Daddy's lives. We had waited for a very long time for you, and finally you were here. The first time we saw you, we loved you with all of our hearts. You had the cutest little dimples on your very fat cheeks. You were a very big boy weighing 8# 11oz and 21" long. We couldn't believe it...you were lots bigger than the doctor thought you would be. You were healthy in every way with a perfect little chubby body. Mommy and Daddy loved looking at you and couldn't believe what a perfect little miracle you were.

Tate we wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and want you to know that we LOVE you so very much. You have made our lives complete. Thank you for the love and joy you bring into our lives and so many others. Happy 1st Birthday!

Love, Mommy and Daddy


This was when mommy had just found out she was going to have a little boy!

Lots of loved ones (family and friends) came to see you at the hospital.

YAY...going home to my new house, to start our little family!


You looked just like daddy when you were born.

Like father like son!!

Happy Birthday Tate... I can't believe that it has been one year. It seems just like yesterday you were walking into church with your new little guy.
