Chocolate Is Goooood!

Enough said.

More from Will's birthday party coming soon!

365 Days

Happy Birthday Dear William! The last 365 days have been the happiest of our lives because you have completed our family. You are such a sweet and happy boy. You bring smiles to our faces and happiness to our hearts. You are such a cuddle bug and we adore you.

Thank you for being our Mr. Funny, Buddy and Cheetoh!

364 Days

Tomorrow is the big day! Our little William will be 1 year old! Amazing! One year ago tonight I was busy packing the hospital bag and dreaming of meeting our son 'Mr. Funny'.

Tonight I thought I'd recall the girls' first birthday celebrations by 'digging out' some old pics. Unfortunately, I was not able to locate my favorites and need to get to bed. Here are some that I was able to locate.

Miss Emmie-1 Year Old- 7/5/02

Miss Katie-1 Year Old- 12/26/04

Miss Allie-1 Year Old- 5/12/07

363 Days

Months 10-12 have been filled with more 'firsts', increasing independence, a lot of smiles and a whole lot of fun!

Here is a video of Will saying one of his first words.

It's Alarming...

1. Waking up at 8:10 with only 10 minutes to get Emmie and Katie ready for school and only 20 minutes after that to get Allie to her first day of preschool! Apparently someone, with little hands I believe, turned down the volume on our alarm clock. :0

2. Finding this BEAST in our office today! Inside our house, how dare he?! He is still under this plastic container with a suitcase holding it down....waiting for Rich to get home from work.

{EDIT: Spider picture removed because it was creeping me out and he was making appearances in my dreams, ugh!}

3. The important part of this post.....Allie is old enough to go to preschool!

It seems like such a short while ago that she was Will's age. She was so excited for her first day. Last week we went together for a 1-hour orientation. This morning I said "Allie you get to go to school today!!!!" to which she replied "YESandYOUareNOTstayingTODAY!!!" all in one quick and excited long word! Sniff, sniff...

Don't you just love the pose she came up with?

All Smiles!!

Months 4-6 were filled with lots of love, cuddles, first meals and many giggles.

Here is a video of Will's first giggles- I caught them on camera!
