It's my birthday...

E enjoyed her birthday and LOVED the cake!  The cake was such a hit she needed a bath to get all the frosting out of her hair before nap time. 

I'm one!!

Loved my cake... Can't wait for more at my party next weekend.

Cooling off

It has been 100+ degrees for too many days so we finally got to the Barrington pool. K loved it even though it was a quick trip before her afternoon nap.

Happy Fourth!

We grilled out with friends in 102 degrees and had very yummy food including red, white and blue jello... Yum!

One year pictures

We had professional pictures taken of E to celebrate her first year (take a peek!) and they are adorable (but we are a bit biased of course).  It's hard to think that one year ago from this time I was very pregnant, anxiously waiting for baby's arrival, trying to sell our house in the city and then this little nugget ends up arriving early due to preeclampsia.  Our two week visit in the NICU and countless trips to the pediatric endocrinologist for the next three months seem like a bad dream.  E is absolutely a delight and in perfect health.  She follows her sister around everywhere, loves doing everything K does, has started crawling up the stairs, says mama, dada, woof and Elmo and love standing up but not walking yet.
