Happy Birthday Brett and Magdalena

Brett & Mags,

Today you turn 1! While this year has absolutely flown by, it's impossible to remember life without you... which is OK because I don't want to. Your Mommy and I love you both more than you can possibly imagine.

1st Birthday Party!

Brett and Maggie turn 1 on Tuesday and this weekend we celebrated with their first birthday party. The party had everything two babies could want - lots of friends, a visit from their Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie DeeDee, and Uncles RyRy and DumDum and, of course, CAKE! Two cakes actually, as Mommy ensured both Brett and Mags got their own cake and their own "Happy Birthday" songs.

Here are a few photos. Brett and Mags want to especially thank their friends Lucas, Shayna, Mason, Riyo and Avery for celebrating with them.

Hail To The Redskins

We're ready for the season to begin and Brett is looking tough in his new jersey. Nowhere to go but up after last year. Hail To The Redskins!

Dr. Destructo

Find out if you've adequately baby-proofed! He only charges $10 an hour for his services. Mommy and Daddy will have to bust out the duct tape on this one. Thanks for the fun new playmat, Grandma!




Dan took this picture when I came home from work on Friday.

Wishful Thinking

I always imagined I'd have a little girl with pigtails on her first birthday. Instead, Brett is the one with flowing locks of gold (pictures truly don't do his crowning glory justice), and Maggie has penguin hair. She has the hairline of a penguin, and her hair sticks out on the sides like an emperor penguin.
A few days ago, Dan called me in the bathroom during bath time. "Come see Pippi Longstockings," he said.



A little preview of what her pigtails may look like in the distant future when her hair is long enough...
