ketchup...

Ok, not ketchup, catch up. Here's Andrew, he turned 1 before our trip, and it amazes me how much he's changed and how much he can do (translation: do = get into). Here's out classic stuffing-the-cake-in birthday picture.

The next day after our trip was Bekah's birthday.

A few weeks later Bekah graduated from Joy School. When you have a camera, the one thing you can't do with Bekah is ask her to smile. If you do, this is what you'll get. Classic Bekah scrunch.

And today was Alyssa's birthday. She was so excited to turn 3. I asked her what kind of cake she wanted, and she promptly said, "chocolate". Before bed I asked her what her favorite part of her birthday was, she promptly replied, "chocolate". Yep, she's my kid.


I love all the normal stuff that just happens with life. Nothing terribly exciting or original, but these types of things are what I love most about being a mom. Birthdays, crazy smirks and chocolate covered babies. Life is good!
