First Birthday Cake

Today we did our party for Amber and Reanne. I'm happy to say that it was nice; around 70 degrees and sunshine! :) Unlike her big sister, Reanne was absolutely happy to dive into cake. She had her first cake at the park, and happily devoured a second helping after dinner!

Comparisons

We've been looking back at pictures and it's amazing to see how much Amber has grown and where the girls look similar and where they don't.  So, here's a picture of Amber and one of Reanne at about the same point in life, just before their 1st birthdays.  

Amber is 5!!!

It's so scary.  The girl who was my baby not really that long ago is now five, and her little sister is almost 1!  Where did the time go????

Jenn's wedding

I'm afraid that since I was in the wedding, I don't have too many pictures, so I'm collecting from others, but here are a few. Amber had a great time being a flower girl, though she did get very tired of the "flower crown" that she was wearing. Everything was wonderful until the bride and groom made their getaway, and then Amber was upset for a very long time. I'm afraid she hadn't really understood that she'd be saying "goodbye" while there were lots of other people around. All in all, it was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony/celebration. :)

Pics from CA

After spending 2 1/2 weeks in CA, it's taken a long time to get back into our normal routine. At least for me. :) Anyway, there are WAY too many pictures to post them all, but here are some cute ones.
