This week we celebrated Luke's first birthday. It doesn't seem possible that it has already been a year since he first joined our family. So much has happened in that year and we just love watching him grow up. He's a bundle of energy with the sweetest soul.
For his actual birthday he had a cake at school, a cake at home, and flirted with everyone at the doctors office during his well-baby visit.
Let him eat cake!
This weekend Mother Nature was smiling on us in Marlborough and we had the most beautiful weekend. We had a picnic with some of our best friends, family, and neighbors. We are truly blessed.
Anna and Luke loved hanging out with cousin Cadence. We see her all the time via Skype but having her here in person was a treat! I predict that we'll be in trouble as these three get a bit older!
Not shown here is Cadence's "new" dog, Trooper. He was rescued and returned to my brother nearly 20 months after he ran away! Scott and Dad drove down to Virginia to pick him up this weekend. What I would give to have a video of his adventures over last nearly two years!
Cake is always a hit with the girls. A "1" for Luke, one car for Mom and Dad's anniversary, and a caboose for Shel's birthday.
Matt organized a game of bean bag toss.
And what would a party be with out a pig pile on one of the Daddies? Thanks Ben for being the victim this time!
