First Birthday

There is so much emotion involved with your babies turning one. Already, only a year later, you start to forget so much of what has happened. My clearest memories are of these past few months as they have learned to crawl and walk, which have definitely been some of the most rewarding moments.  At the same time it makes me so sad that memories escape me. I wish I could hold on to this first year forever.

With that said, I don't think it is possible for a parent to ever put into words properly the joys of seeing your children discover and explore the world. Sometimes it's hard seeing your children throw a tantrum, or cry because they bumped their head, but even those moments have their own reward as you see them learn from mistakes and figure out their boundaries. I am so excited for what this next year will bring. I just think it might take me another month to process the fact that my children are in fact one year old going on two years old.

Here are a ton of pictures from their 1st birthday party!

The setup (thanks to Nicole for doing almost all of the cooking!)



Yay presents! (Andrew)

Yay drumsticks.

I said, I wonder how long it will take them to break this...I guess the answer was 10 minutes.

Look at me! I can stand on a box! (Patrick)


Blowing out the candles!
