A year ago today.....means 1 year ago tommorrow!

If you saw the video I put up the other day of me walking into the hospital surprising Missy and the kids that I had gotten out of Iraq for leave to be here when our beautiful Kendall was born, well, that video was made one year ago TODAY! That meaning that 1 year ago TOMMORROW is Kendall Raye Holtan was born!
So, in advance of tommorrow, I want to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!!!!!!!!
Yes, it was a different type year for a newborn to be nurtured in by mom, and your 2 siblings, but they did sweetly with what they had, and they had a lot minus ME! And now that you know me more, and that I am daddy and not just a picture of an Army guy on the fridge, which still hangs up there, I am glad you have come to love me like I was never gone.
I am blessed to have had her born to Missy and I , and that being said, blessed to have children born to my love Missy and I altogether.
Kendall, you obviously can't read this, but you know how much I love you and what you do for us. When I get home from work everyday and come up the stairs and you crawl to the edge of the stairs, that makes me feel so loved, just to know that with me being gone, you LOVE when I come home and to see me. And when you say Dad, that melts my heart, and I can listen to it all day long!
In the tradition of Madison and Hunter, you have blessed us as our 3rd child and March 8th is your day to get whatever you want. Not that you don't get that EVERYDAY, but we will let the crying slide a little more tommorrow!
Mis, thanks for taking care of Kendall this past year and showing Kendall and the kids what a GREAT mother they have, The kids and myself would not have been able to do as well without your nurturing for ALL of us!
I LOVE YOU KENDALL!!!!!!

Later,
DAD(Erik)
