Happy Birthday G3

Good morning birthday boy!

Birthday Party at the Park.

Mommy stayed up all night making cookies shaped like the number 1 and the letter G.

What a crowd!

Nanna is so excited to be with you at your party!

Family photo at the park. Happy Birthday G3! We love you.

G3 and Ella. So what's it like to be one?

Well, it's not so bad.. Two is better..Remember I'm older...

It's hard to believe G3 will be 1 year. I feel like I should win a prize like on Survivor. This has been by far the hardest year of my life. This was harder than recovery from an MVA that left me in a coma. Harder than freshman year of college.. harder than sorority initiation..harder than rugby initiation...harder than defending my thesis...harder than getting married without my family... you get the point... We will be celebrating tomorrow at the park...details and pics to follow. Check out the show on Flickr.

Today I look like this...

Count down to G 3's big birthday

One year ago I looked like this...



Here I am. The winner of the life lottery. Sitting in the Emergency Room clueless as to why I have been sick for three days. The husband leaves to go to the "best sandwich shop" while I sit and wait in limbo for test results. Nurse scissor hands comes in with nurse ratchet to announce with glee that I do not have a rare disease. She says, "Honey your pregnant." She states this like she is welcoming me to the secret club. In total disbelief I debate the fact. Hm mm, basic biology. Frantic call is placed to the husband. Husband argues that he has been in line for 45 minutes and he is now next. Bursting into tears I explain he needs to hurry back to the ER. Husband arrives and I tell him to sit down. Taking a deep breath I announce "We're Pregnant." Calm and collected the husband says," Cool can I go get my sandwich?" Stunned I try to remember just when I became the owner of the winning ticket.

Got Chips?

Today's pics brought to you by Grants Farm...

Hey Miller! We are at the farm. We get to see animals and I hear that they have free beer.

I think that trurtle is moving faster than this line!

Trurtle Turtle Turtle

The chickens are headed for the trees.

Hmmm. Donkey Donkey Donkey

The horse says Neigh! I need a bucket of oats.

First family trip to Grants Farm. No animals were hurt during this trip!

Round and round on the carousel.

I hope this is over soon. I don't remember this ever making me sick. I am getting old.

Backyard family fun!

Catch this!

I got this one!

I didn't do it!

She loves me...

She loves me not...

of course she loves me...she's my mom...
