Big Girl!

Abigail is now one year old! It is amazing how quickly she has grown up. Brian and Sarah hosted a great first birthday party at the city park where Sarah, Jeff, Raquel, and I all used to be parks and rec day camp counselors. The city has really made a lot of improvements to the park in the past few years. The weather was just gorgeous on Saturday, so it was a fantastic day for a 1st birthay picnic.

Gary and I got her the Little People's Noah's Ark. My dad seems to like it , too.

She was having a blast playing with the paper and bows, until she got a new doll!

Michelle and James came with Andrew, and we all had such a good time with him. He's six months old already. Michelle and James just celebrated their FIFTH wedding anniversary!Andrew really likes Gary (like all babies).


Jeff and Raquel drove in for the party and then drove home. This month they celebrated their first anniversary. He starts his very first year teaching on Tuesday!!!!! He says he isn't nervous or anxious at all, but me and my teammates are every year and we have been teaching for years!

Here's my Aunt Cindy with her grandson, Andrew and my mom with her granddaughter, Abby.

I even got my grandma Doris to be in a photograph.

The food was delicious! Here's my grandpa George and me.
