Madeline is 1!

Actually, Madeline is now 13 months, but better late than never.


For Madeline's birthday she had two cakes: Madeline's first cake was on her birthday, with family, and for her party, the Saturday after her birthday, she had a second cake.

This is the second cake.

Yep, that is cake in her hair. The buttercream frosting was frustratingly resistant to shampoo.

Is there more underneath?

Yep, this one is delicious too!

Madeline's sister got to her cake before I could get a picture.

This was the first cake.

Delicious! Why don't we have this everyday?

Ha ha! The mess I have made and can't be expect to clean up.

Surely, a whole fistful of cake is better than just a bite.

Yummy!

She just knew this was going to be good.

On Madeline's birthday, Mallory, Mason, Samantha, Madeline & I went to the Kohl Children's Museum. The kids love it!

Mason is quite the shopper!

Samantha stocked up on all fruits & vegetables.

My big girl.

I suck at blogging

What I failed to realize when I started this blog as a means of getting current pictures of the girls somewhere where friends and family could see them, was that there was work involved. Blogging is no easier than printing the photos and mailing them (which I wasn't doing either).

Anyway, nearly 6 months after my last post, here I go again...

Oh, great. Exhibitionists.

OK, Mummy. NOW you can have a hug.

Cheese!

Princess Samantha

I know. Aren't I adorable?
