The last 1st

This blog is not only a place where I can write down the ho-hums of my life for friends and family who live far away, it's also somewhat of a family diary for me. I will have it printed into a book so that someday my kids can read it and then I fully anticipate them saying, "Oh! So that's what you were always doing on the computer when we were desperately trying to get your attention." And I'll say, "Yep."

That's the preface to this last (I swear) birthday post. Drew turned 5 a month ago and I posted a few times about that and then Lauren turned one last week and I posted about that. ENOUGH ALREADY, I know. This is the last one, for sure. Promise. But this one is necessary.

Sooo, my baby turned one. She's walking, she imitating, she's sleeping 13 hours straight at night, and she's a bowl full of cherries. Her first birthday party was lovely and although we missed a few very important family and friends, we had many special guests and our house and backyard was filled with love on that special day. I won't bore anyone with a thousand pictures (although Misty sure captured some great moments) but I will share these below. It was a really great day. Thanks to all who came, who traveled, who called. We're so lucky to have so many people in our lives who love our kids the way you all do.
