1st Birthday!



Yesterday (November 1st) Leah turned one. It was a bitter sweet day for us... bitter because we want her here NOW and sweet because our "Hampden gang" of friends threw her a Birthday Party/Baby Shower. We were both overwhelmed by how generous everyone was from the menu that featured Indian food to the gifts it was all too much. THANK YOU EVERYONE.

A few highlights... Michele Metzler showed off her cake decorating skills once again and made an adorable elephant cake for Leah! My cousin Ty and his new bride Courtney hosted the party in their new home and gave her a radio flyer wagon Ty "assembled". Kade Bartlett gave Leah a camo hat from Cabelas to match his so they can go hunting with their Dads and I guess that means Jamie and I will go shopping when that happens!

Lots of other great gifts and again the outpouring of love from everyone was so special. Here are a few pictures courtesy of Jake of course..... Oh and I just realized it is rather amusing to see pictures of the "Mom to be" having a beer at her baby shower! Special thanks to Ty for getting us "India Pale Ale" to drink! Clever.
