And Autumn is on her bike! We got her a little Trek bike last year (well, actually the Easter Bunny did) because Daddy thought it would be really cute. By she wanted nothing to do with it last year. While I was on the treadmill in the basement a couple of weeks ago she hopped onto it and began riding it around and loves it now. We went to the park last week on a warm day and had a fun time. Our first little bite of spring now has us itching for more. But it was 27 degrees during my run this morning so we are still being teased!

We went to a Build A Bear birthday party for Autumn's friends, Abby and Dan, on Saturday. She picked out a pink bunny, who she named "bunny"...originality is not her strongpoint...before any of the other kids even looked at the stuffed animals. She helped Joshua make his little dog, named "Scruffy." You can see her "washing" them with blasts of air after they have been full of fluff. It was a fun day!

Happy Birthday Joshua!!

Well, we can hardly believe our little guy turned one-year-old on Friday! It seems so long ago since we were in the NICU with him for 15 days, but on the other hand, it seems unbelievable that he's been with us for a whole year already! He enjoyed cake at Bennigan's on his birthday as you can see here...he's very tactile and loved the feeling of the frosting in his fingers. We were surprised by how relatively clean he was!

We came home from dinner to open presents from Mommy, Daddy and relatives who had mailed gifts. Autumn was, of course, excited to show Joshua how to rip the paper. He was such a trooper!

We celebrated even more with party with family and friends on Saturday. Here he sits on MomMom's lap very excited to see what was in his gift bag.

He enjoyed his very own cake at his party and ended up with quite the sugar high! He didn't even think about going to sleep until well past 9pm, when he normally is out for the night at 7pm!

Our sweet baby boy. He'll always be my baby. :-)

Easter Fun!

Hi Everyone! We had a nice Easter day. We attended an early church service at 8am to accommodate Joshua's morning nap and were very happy to find that the Easter Bunny visited the house while we were gone. Autumn helped find all of the eggs that he hid around the house (it was too chilly outside) and both kids enjoyed their Easter baskets of goodies. We had a nice dinner at MomMom and PopPop's house where we got to visit with cousins, Hope and Adi. A fun day all around!!
