Cupcakes and Cocoa

For Greta's very first birthday party we filled the tiny house on Holly Street with balloons, cupcakes and our very best friends. Greta woke up with the biggest smile even though the weather was dreadful. And even though the weather was dreadful, our friends all came to the party smiling just as big. And this is what life is all about...balloons, cupcakes, hot chocolate and friends....at least it is to a one year old!

One Year Like No Other

She Grows and Grows on You

Look at her now. She took her first steps just after Thanksgiving this year, and I can tell how amazing it is to her - she wants so badly to run into your arms.....or your knees. She says Mamma, and Dadda (Mamma was her very first word, followed by Dadda the very next day!) She says Cat in a hushed awe. She knows that doggies pant and she also knows where her nose, and ears are! She loves to explore. Little does she know that each day is an adventure that I fall more and more in love with!
