January found Mom and Dad celebrating their 28th wedding anniversary, and Emilee learning how to stand up with support.
February we went to Big Bear for super bowl weekend, and Emilee got to experience snow for the very first time! She looked like a little marshmallow puff in her snow suit.
Emi also celebrated her first Valentine's Day by going to get frozen yogurt with mommy.
March found us busy preparing for Emilee's 1st birthday party, and even more thrilling, we found ourselves expecting a new baby - due this Thanksgiving!
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take many pictures of Em's birthday, but I did get the whole party on video. It was so wonderful to have all of our friends and family from out of state visit, and just to see how many wonderful people came to help celebrate Em's big day! We are so blessed!
We also celebrated our first Easter in our new home, complete with an overabundance of food! It was a very relaxing day with family.
April has been a wonderful month as well! We celebrated Mom's birthday with a lobster/steak dinner at our house, and then Grandma, Mama and I went to a tea parlor the next morning.
Camille and Brendan got engaged, and we couldn't be happier to soon be adding such a wonderful guy to our family! Camille also celebrated her 24th birthday and college graduation today at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Overall, life is good! We are planning a few trips in the near future, as we won't have as much time (or funds) once our newest addition comes into the world. :-) Some of our destinations include Monterey (CA), Colorado, Iowa and Redding (CA). We are looking forward to so many wonderful things!
(Here is a short video of Emilee's 1st year of life, including a little bit of the pregnancy.)
