2 more days...

Till my precious tiny baby turns ONE YEAR OLD!  Everyone has said "it goes by too fast" and I always agreed with them, but I remember this time last year so vividly.  It almost doesn't seem like 12 months have passed by.  March and April have been busy for us!  Since my last post, Aislynn's 2nd top tooth popped through.  Both are now "even" and are 1/2 way down.  Still, just one little lone bottom tooth still making it's way up.  She totally looks like a pumpkin.
Aislynn also attended her first "birthday party". Miss Emma Grace (#1 of 5 of the preggo posse) turned one 3/28. We had such a fun time at the "fairy" party where all the girls got wings (and Mr. Pman got a bandana). Aislynn also tried her first bday cake and loved it.   (Getting ready for the party)

Partied till she passed out :)

We've been in full "brithday party planning" mode. My mom has helped a bunch and made some table runners, table clothes and the most adorable party favor bags. I made the invites and got those out, and have been picking up little things here & there over the last 2 weeks. I love this kind of stuff and love it even more that it's for my daughter!

Our church celebrated it's 6 year anniversary.  I love our church - it really is like a big family.  I'm just so grateful God brought us there and has allowed me to serve in a place that is making an impact on people's lives.  They had a petting zoo set up and we got to pet bunnies and chicks, and fed an Alpaca.

I've been bad about getting professional pictures of Aislynn done.  We've just taken so many on our own throughout the year.  We decided to splurge and get some really nice one-year pictures done of her (and of our family).  We called up Jeremy @ Adamo Photography (he did our wedding pics).  We had an indoor/outdoor photo shoot on Saturday 4/3, and the weather was perfect.  I could not be MORE happy with the way the pics turned out.  Michael and I were amazed and so glad we chose Jeremy.  I can't wait to get them back so I can share them! To check out his work, visit: http://www.adamophotography.com/  He's truly amazing and talented.

Then there's Easter (Aislynn's 2nd Easter since last year it fell on the 12th, she was 5 days old).  We had fun "looking" for eggs (even though mommy had to pretty much hand them to her), but she had fun in her dress and chasing the dogs around and shaking the eggs with jelly beans inside.  Church was awesome, so grateful for the miracle God performed - all b/c he loves us so!

(Can you see my one bottom tooth?)

Today is a GREAT day for several reasons.  1.  it's my Dad's birthday.  I can't thank God enough for giving me such a great dad.  He's wise, loving, supportive, funny and I love him so much.  Happy bday dadd!  2.  It's LOST night - I seriously look forward to this show every week and will be so sad when the series ends.  3.  It's Small Group night - it's nice to do something 'social' and meet with our group once a week, talk, hang out...  So that's what makes today great in my opinion.  I will definitely post the one-year pics when we get them back. 

2 more days - and I get to celebrate the first year of life of my prreeeeccciiiouuuss sweet beautiful awesome funny energetic baby girl.  The most amazing gift God could ever give me.          -K
