"I'm one!"

Happy Birthday to my little girl! It's amazing how much can happen in one short year! This is Sophia on her birthday. We had her party the day before, so on her actual birthday, we just sang to her and gave her a cupcake. (Ok, she didn't even touch it... this was just for the picture!)



The day before her birthday, we decided to have a little lunch at the church with some family and close friends.

I found this "Sophia-sized" chair at the stage and she sure liked it!

She pushed it all around the church... I barely even saw her. She was so busy!

Here she is, opening her gifts.

She sure loves looking at books!

This was my first attempt at making cupcakes. The frosting was seriously a magical process! If you need a good recipe... use this one.

 

Sophia didn't really "eat" her cupcake. She mostly just threw it on the floor (hence the reason I didn't give her one on her real birthday!). It was a really great day and a lot of fun planning it. Thanks so much to everyone who came... we love you!

Father's Day

This was Rich's first Father's Day as a dad. We didn't do too much. I just made him breakfast, then we went to church, and then that night, we went to Jeannette's for a delicious dinner. 

 

Rich is such a great dad and Sophia sure loves him! When she hears him come home from work, she always crawls- quick as she can- to the door to smile at him. It's so cute. I love watching these two play together and nothing makes me happier than to hear Sophia cracking up at something Rich has done. Thanks for all you do, Rich, and thanks for being such a great Dad to our sweet smiley girl!
