The Cake...

There is nothing better than watching your little one dig into her first birthday cake.  I would like to say that she tasted a little bit of it, but I would be lying!  She just kept picking up pieces and throwing it!!  It was so funny! 
We had Brian and Hunter there...Brian's mom made the cakes- Let me say that they (the actual cake and then the tiny cake for Audrey to tear into) were so cute!  The cakes were beautiful!!  I was sure that the cakes would be cute, but was amazed at the quality of the decorating and the taste! 
Tara Burnett and Nelley Kate showed up; The Knoblock family was there- Alivia and Ashlynn were so cute eating cake!; MaryAnn (Maryman, as Alivia says) and Lisa Sanders.  Mimi and Papa were there of course and gave both girls some of the cutest outfits!
We had a great great day!  I am so very in love with my little girls and feel so very blessed to have them.  What a lucky girl I am !!

Audrey's 1st Birthday

Sitting here with mimi and papa the night before Audrey's first birthday--  I can NOT believe that she is a year old.  What a beautiful life I have!  Two beautiful little girls who make the sun shine; a husband who actually still likes me! ( I think!!); and to have my mom and dad drive up to WW for the birthday party tomorrow.  Only thing missing is my baby brother being here.  I sure hope we get to see him soon. 
I will post lots of birthday pictures in the next few days!! 
Happy Birthday my sweet girl:)

Oh What A Feeling!...

What a fantastic feeling to be sitting here knowing that I don't have to get up and get going tomorrow!  I love having a three day weekend ahead of me.  We are making zero plans and that is fine with me... I don't want to feel obligated to do anything or see anyone this weekend. 
I do feel guilty that we are not going to Mass this Easter weekend.  I really don't know how to make that work.  We don't have a nursery at the Catholic church here in WW and I don't know where else we would go to church.  Maybe we should look into going to a different denomonation, but I honestly don't feel welcome here in WW to do that.  I feel so out of touch in this community.  I mean, I work here, I bank here, I shop here,  but I am not a part of this town. 
I wish that we could get into a small town like Shattuck.  Being there yesterday and working with those kids and teachers was such an honor.  Even during a tragedy, I felt at home in that commhunity.  We don't have that feeling here in WW- I am not a part of the "in" crowd.  We will never call WW home and that is a shame- this could have been a great place for us to raise our girls.
