My Baby's 1st Birthday

I can not believe it was a whole year ago that Gwen was born, however, looking back at pictures, it's unbelievable how much she's grown in 1 short year!

We started getting cards in the mail yesterday, and she got her first gift from Aunt Katie in the mail. We played with it all afternoon!

Today Gwen must have been excited to celebrate because she was up and at 'em before 6am :) We spent the morning eating pancakes, going for a walk, going to the park, and making some stuff for her party.

Adam got home from his business trip, and we took her to the mall to ride the caroussel.

We finished the day by getting her Dairy Queen and playing with Diggs.
Funny how such simple things made her day great! The celebrations continue this weekend, as we have company coming tomorrow, and her party Saturday!

Happy, happy birthday Gwen. You are the best little girl I could ever imagine having and I love you more than anything! What a great year you have given us!!!!

August 2011

Summer's close to being over already, but we are still enjoying it!

We have got to hang out with Gwen's cousins from both sides. We got to go watch Mara's horseback riding lessons, and Allie came to visit, so we spent a day with her!

We go to the pool A LOT!

We went to the farm park and Gwen loved seeing the animals.

Gwen's favorite activity is just playing at home, haha. She loves Diggy, dolls, books, rolling her ball, playing with kitchen utensils, Nick Jr., anything that makes noise, getting into everything (toilets and Diggy's dog food included), making messes, swinging, dancing, etc. She keeps me VERY busy because she is constantly in motion!

We love summer!
