A Vacation of Many Kinds

This was the view

 from our hotel...

that we were lucky enough to see

for a few hours of daylight...

 and a brief time in the night sky also...

with my love & best friend...

on our Mini,

Much-Needed,

Not-Nearly-Long-Enough,

Wonderful-Getaway

to one of our favorite spots!

Wishing for another one soon....

OJ, Kev!

The Most Perfect Pumpkins in the Patch!

We visited

the pumpkin patch

on a beautiful

fall day

and watched our girls

explore new things,

smile in the sunshine,

 breathe the crisp air,

show off their cuteness,

and new discoveries,

together. 

My Birthday Week Re-Cap

Here are a few snapshots of my 1st birthday week...lots of smiles, family, friends, and fun!

I'm a little in awe that all of these people are here to celebrate ME!!! What a lucky girl I am!

I haven't even gotten to the cake yet, and I've already made a mess.....YES!!!

Such a cute cake.......not for long!

  So you're telling me I can really just dig into this?!

 Okay then...if you say so....don't mind if I do!

 I'm in sugar shock! 

Everyone posed nicely for pictures while I kept eating....after all....it was my birthday!

 Sitting in Mommy's lap to open my cards and great presents was fun...but....

... hanging out in my new chair was much more exciting!!!

 My big sister, Brynn, thought she better show me how to use my new chair...

I preferred to try it out by myself!

 Celebrating my actual birthday with my daytime friends in the backyard!

 I discovered that the real trick to my new push/walker stroller from Mommy & Daddy is to concentrate really hard with the help of my tongue!

 Relaxing at the end of a fun day....I'm 1!!!
