Happy Birthday, Julia!!!

ia



Julia turned one today! What a year it's been. In her first year out of the uterus, Julia has lived in four different places, been to the ER and admitted to a hospital, and taught her parents a LOT about life. She has learned to walk, talk a bit, and fly down the stairs backwards. What a journey....

Today, we had her real birthday. Jessie and Dan, Annie, Annemieke, and Aaron came over to help us celebrate. We had dinner and cake, and the took Julia to the park to ride the swings some more. Annemieke made Julia her own cake which had three layers of chocolate with chocolate frosting. (The adults had white cupcakes...) The first thing she did was stick her hand in the flames of the candle. As far as the cake went, at first, Julia didn't know what to do with it. Eventually, she got the hang of it and dug her little hands into the layers. Daddy was turning green at the mess. I thought it was hilarious.

Anyways, happy birthday, little girl. We love you!
