Pumpkin Patch

I found out that is not so easy to take a perfect picture of two kids with lots of distractions. Here is how I did.



So then I tried just Amelia with not much success.








"Dad can I really have this pumpkin?"

"If you give it to me I am going to eat it!"

Amelia wasn't sure if she liked the llama.

Abrielle Poses

If I ever take a picture of Abrielle she always has some sort of pose for me. Do I see a model in her career, hope not.

Amelia's 1st Birthday

Amelia playing with one of her toys.

This is how we shared Amelia's birthday with family. We skyped with my parents, Ben's parents, and Liz with kids at my parent's house. If you look in the background you can see my mom cutting a cake while Amelia was eating her cake. It was a nice way to celebrate a birthday when living so far away.

Opening presents.


Amelia was so excited to see all of the decorations that Abrielle and I did while she was napping. She is sitting in her decorated birthday chair.

We had a cake on her actually birthday day. Here is a picture of when she first got the cake.
This is what it looked like when she was done.

On the day of her birthday Abrielle and I took Amelia to get own bowl of ice cream.
