1st Birthday - Midnight Picture

Happy First Birthday, Monkey!!

How is it possible that it has been an entire year since this we finally got to meet this little one who has stolen my heart and captivated my soul? My heart is overwhelmed with emotion and there is so much I want to say.

I will be back to post about her birth story and her birthday celebrations. However, tonight I have the very important job of making sure everything is set for her to enjoy the most amazing first birthday celebration in the morning. Things have been a little hectic around here, but I am determined to make tomorrow (er - today?) absolutely the best day possible!

Here it is... her first birthday.
Unbelievable.

St Patricks Day - 2011

St Patricks Day 2011 

It looks like I spoke too soon about us all being on the mend!

This sickness just isn't done with us yet.

Sarge was even sent home sick from work today and put on "quarters" until Monday!

We spent our St Patricks Day mostly in bed, emptying the DVR.

I had planned to at least attempt something fun for dinner... but Sarge picked up pizza instead.

We did manage to sneak in a quick craft with Monkey...

She really wasn't too amused that we smothered her hands and feet in green paint!

We decided to save the photo shoot we had planned today for a day when we all feel better.

Monkey did manage to sport a couple green cloth diapers today!

To top off our green celebrations? I think we'll have a bowl or two of green jello before bed!

How did you spend your St Patricks Day 2011?
