{girl’s night}

We had so much fun tonight.  What great friends. I love you all.

{happy birthday, aliza grace}

Aliza’s first Robek’s smoothie! A birthday treat, since she won’t get her cake until Saturday.

Daddy, Ginny, Benji, Bre Ann, Jase and Betsy joined us to celebrate!

We stopped by uncle Cam’s work, so he could wish her a happy birthday.
(Cam has been hard at work teaching Aliza to stick out her tongue…well he succeeded. [...]

{one year ago…}

We met Aliza on August 28, 2007. I can hardly believe it has been a year since she was born. For the last month, Scott and I have been reflecting on “this time, last year” memories. Our lives have changed so dramatically since she came into our lives, and we couldn’t be [...]

{walking friends}

Sara, Carmen, & Theresa

Genevieve & Theresa
These girls are some of my very favorites.  On Friday we enjoyed a library children’s concert with a picnic and followed it up with a walk at our favorite spot, Boulevard Park/Taylor Dock.  It was such a beautiful day, we were so thankful.  It is such a blessing to live [...]

{summer family fun!}

A few weeks ago, we went to Elizabeth Park for outdoor concert.  It was fun to bring a picnic dinner and enjoy the warm summer weather.  It was so cute to see all the little girls dancing with each other to the music.  They had never met before, but were all holding hands and having [...]

{girlfriends}

Aliza and Cate

Aren’t they cute?  (Cate is 8.5 months older than Aliza)

Aliza and Erin (Erin is 2 months older than Aliza, and is already a big sister!}

Aliza and Celeste

Aliza, rocking Celeste in her carseat.  (Aliza is 8 months older than Celeste, but only 2 inches taller!  My poor shorty girl!)

{happy birthday, nana!}

Happy Birthday, Mom!  We love you!  Hope your day was great!

{goodbye, bottle}

I gave Aliza her last bottle today. It was kind of a sad thing for me. I love watching her grow and change, but there is definitely a bittersweetness to it. She isn’t much of a snuggler, so bottle feeding time was precious because she would just melt in your lap as [...]

{girls}

Last night Scott was at dinner with a friend, so Aliza and I had our very own girls night!  We ate dinner together, played, and then took a bath together.  She is so cute in the bath, splashing and playing with her toys.  After the bath, as I often do, I had to clip her [...]

{camping continued…}

We got a few more camping pictures from our fellow campers…thought we’d share.

So fun!  We have such great friends.  Can’t wait ’til next year!
