WE'RE BACK!!!
from our six month sabbatical
just in time to celebrate
baby William's 1st birthday!!!
But before we celebrate, I'll catch you up on what we've been up to:
I took my first bus ride to the hospital with my Daddy
and had a delicious breakfast at the hospital cafeteria.
I put lots of decorations on one Valentine's Day cookie
and poor Will felt left out.
I'm officially potty trained
and Will eats food.
We celebrated another romantic anniversary dinner with my parents--6 years!!
(don't worry they went out on their own the night before)
And learned we'll be in Michigan for the next 7!!
Then in the same week, we celebrated
Mother's Day
Will's baby blessing
and my Daddy's graduation--
by the end Will and I were a bit tired of pictures as you can tell.
And then the travels began
First we went to
the beach
and the pool with my good friend Caroline.
(I like to count when I jump and wear my bathing suit backwards)
Then we rode bikes in Northern Michigan.
Will and I were content in our trailer.
We drove to New York
to see my Great Aunt Margaret--she's 102!!
Followed by Connecticut to see my twin cousins
Rosemary and Elizabeth (and their Daddy, Uncle Sam)
I can't tell my cousins apart so I just call them both "Rosemary Elizabeth." We had so much fun!
Next, an airplane ride to Utah
where my parents hiked
and Will and I enjoyed our view from backpacks.
I tried to carry Will, but he was too heavy.
I went on my first chairlift ride
It was scary.
We also got to see the temple
and visit our family.
Next stop, California to see Aunt Claire and visit
Disneyland!
Will and I were a little scared meeting Minnie Mouse
but once we left, I couldn't stop talking about her.
Back to the airport
Did you notice I have a new backpack--with a unicorn?
It goes everywhere I go.
Now that we're home our Daddy is working a lot
so we wait by the door for him
and in between waiting, I'm probably "fixing" my bike
or helping my Mom when she goes to the store--
I'm measuring Will's head in this picture (it's big!)
