One year later...

Wow!!!! I decided to check my blog today...not sure why. I guess I was inspired by my sister-in-law Kate. The difference between her blog and mine though is that she is updating us all from Australia while I am updating you from, well, my kitchen.

As I look back over my last four posts, my only four posts, I realize that so much has changed! I am now the mother of a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 year old. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last year, watching both my children grow and change, but I am way more excited for the years to come. I've learned that I love the toddler years. I would rather take on the attitudes, tantrums, food aversions, and stubbornness any day over the breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and blowouts that come with an infant.

We celebrated Coco's first birthday with a piggy party. I believe she is one of few who has enough hair on their first birthday to wear pig tails and so I wanted to celebrate that! She has more hair than I can manage to get into a "hair-do" on any given day and the personality to match! I love this girl!

I'm so thankful for both my kids and for the opportunity to stay home and watch them grow everyday. I am going to try to do a better job of jotting down a little something here and there to help me remember this next year...because if it's anything like the last, it will go by in the blink of an eye.
