Family fun together!!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past couple of weeks! We have had some wonderful times enjoying our time together and with some good friends.

Snuggling siblings, makes this Momma's heart just melt!! I think Daddy's heart melted with this one as well!!

Shawn is getting great writing letters, he likes writing the letter "I". Good job Shawn!

Family picnic and playtime at the park! Using the sand toys for the first time!

At the spring training game for the "Reds". I think they lost, but I enjoyed the afternoon with everyone. What a beautiful day for an afternoon out!

The letter "I" again, he's really mastering this letter!!! Way to go!!

Visiting with good friends Melissa, Matt, Madison, and meeting baby Maxwell. He is so adorable, and such a little snuggler!!

Shawn loved Matt's guitar. Shawn and Madi enjoyed playing guitars together! Good job kiddos, we loved listening to your music!!

Meadow and Madi also enjoyed playing together.

Meadow turns 1 !!!

Our sweet little princess is now 1 year old!!!!
Meadow is now walking almost running after her brother and loves to chat and sing. She loves to shop and her first real word was "purse" which she proudly said as she pointed at a nice expensive purse. She gave Daddy a BIG hug and kiss in hopes she could sweet talk him, I think it almost worked!
Meadow loves to eat finger foods! Cheerios, yogurt bites, peaches, and peas seem to be a few of her favorites.
She is now 29 1/2 inches long and weighs 20 lb and 4 oz. Meadow loves her big brother and loves to play cars with him, but she also enjoys carrying around her baby-dolls and gives each of them lots of kisses and hugs.

Her birthday celebration!! She was decked out in the birthday hat and was ready for cake and presents!!

I made macaroni and cheese with brats and green beans, it was a yummy first birthday dinner!

She kept reminding us that she is now "1"

She had watched Shawn open his gifts just a week ago, now it was her turn to rip away!!

Shawn was ready to show her in case she didn't know how to do it just right! What a good big brother!

Time for cake!!

And boy, were we ready to dig in!!!

...and keep digging...I think you got every lick Meadow!

Now that has got to be the sweetest little thumb around!! What a satisfied and happy little girl!

What a wonderful celebration!!

This video is one that is full of Meadow giggles, I hope it makes you smile!
