We celebrated Porter's 1st Birthday on November 30. It was weird not having him there with us to celebrate. It was an emotional day, but I didn't want it to be a depressing day so we spent time with family and decorated his grave. Since Christmas was right around the corner we put a little Christmas tree where his headstone should be. We then went over to Matt's parents house and each of us wrote a little note to Porter and tied it to a string attached to a balloon. We took the balloons outside and gave them to Carter to let them go into the sky. Carter didn't really understand what we were doing so Papa helped out a bit. It felt good to send a little message to him even though he can't really read it. After letting the balloons go we all went out for dinner.
We didn't have Porter's headstone in yet, since they said the ground was too cold to put it in so we just guessed where it should be.

Carter liked watching the balloons.
Carter loves his Aunt Emmy
After we got back from eating dinner Carter loved to play with the train. He is only a "little" obsessed with trains.
He seriously watched this train for a good hour or two.
