oh, my!

vintage max

goodness, where to begin?!?! it's been busy couple of weeks since i last blogged. we've had visitors, my parents and papa's papa, we got a professional haircut, we've had a first birthday, we've had thanksgiving, said visitors have left, we've gotten our family photos back (squeal), we had a one-year check-up (shots included), we had a thirty-fifth birthday and i'm sure i'm forgetting something:) i have pictures coming out of my eyeballs...it might take a couple of posts to get them all on here:)

before the haircut

hanging on for dear life!

the party was a huge success, if i do say so myself:) we had a great turn out with 25 adults and 11 children...no meltdowns, kids or adults:) max was a little over-whelmed at times but we just took him outside to cool off:) he did okay with his cupcake (mama made pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting...forgot to take a picture) but seemed to enjoy it more when no one was looking at him:) he got lots of great presents and really doesn't even know what to do with them all!! we really appreciate all our friends and family coming to celebrate with us.
