Happy Birthday Little Girl

Today is Genevieve's first birthday. We had a little piece of cheesecake for breakfast, with some of her favorite fruits.











It's been a really busy year, to say the least. It hardly feels like 12 months have gone by.

We will probably celebrate with a real party after the bar exam is done.

Out & About

Today Dana had a Bar prep class. The kids and I headed out for the day to do some shopping for camping gear.

Naturally we had to stop for ice cream.



I was sad to find that REI no longer carries our "wedding pattern" -- dark green enamelite.


Oh well, we found some other nice colors at Jax.

I found a case of Moosehead beer at the liquor store! I bought it to celebrate Ali and Eric's new house on Moosehead Way!! We spent the week before the 4th of July helping them move. (although I hasten to add that dumping your 1 and 3 year olds off and then spending the day working remotely on the computer and taking conference calls hardly counts as "helping"...)

Genevieve is not walking yet but she continues to practice. She is pretty much eating everything now.

Rainy Day Kids #'s 1 and 2

It rained all weekend, with highs in the 50s. Nobody was expecting it. We tried to go up to the community farm's open house today with some friends, but it was rained out. So we had Indian food for lunch instead. Yum! Warm, spicy lentil soup on a cold, wet day really hit the spot.

Here is Alex with our enormous golf umbrella.




And before I forget, our darling little girl. She got to wear her warm fuzzy jammies the last few days.




She is eating just about everything these days. She likes chicken. Any protein, really. She has 5 teeth now. She is "cruising" - pulling herself up and taking a few steps while holding on to a table or other convenient object. She loves it.

Between the hours of 8 am and 7pm she is the happiest person in my life. Between 8pm and first light, she can be one of the saddest. Or most ornery. So ridiculously cute. I know Alex was super cute too at this age, but I don't remember noticing it as much. She'll be 11months old on Tuesday. 21 pounds.
