Ethan turns 1!

Ethan turned one on February 23rd, and we celebrated with a super fun Dr. Seuss birthday party. It was a great time and I think it turned out really well.

We got Ethan a train table for his birthday. He loves it, although he doesn't play with it as intended...he insists on tearing it apart.

The fishing game at the party. All the kids (adults too if they wanted) got to "fish" for their own fish and take it home in a cute little fish bowl.

A Day in the Park...

We have had two BEAUTIFUL days here this week...we were able to get to the park both days, and the kids had so much fun! I just love to see them run and laugh and play! Abbie makes instant friends on the playground and Ethan loves the swings!

Happy New Year!

This has been a wonderful, busy year! I haven't posted as much as I would have liked to, but will strive to find the time in 2010. We have some fun things planned for the coming year and I am looking forward to watching my children learn and grow. Here are some pictures from the last couple of months to catch you up!
