So we made it one year. I believe in my heart that we've both grown into our roles as parents. Even though we thought we had it together at the start, we see now that we were so clueless....and will look back on ourselves in this moment and realize that we are still. But we are learning every day.
Noah had his first birthday twice...how exciting! We had the party with friends in Dallas & then came "home to Jonesboro" and had one here with friends & family, complete with more cake! It was a blast to see him playing with cousins and getting to know the family better. We welcome everyone to come and see us any time here. I am so thrilled to be back closer to our families. Dallas was great & I miss it, but nothing is as great as living near family. (especially when little people are involved)
The title of the post is a link to picasa pics from the party or click www.picasaweb.google.com/calliecabell to get to see Noah eating cake for the first time and opening presents, playing with friends & cousins, and just generally being cute as can be.
Sorry to everyone who left the party with fever, runny nose, and possibly diarrhea...that was not an intentional party favor, just extra bonus! Noah is missing school today (boo-hoo!) due to 101 this a.m. and Mommy is oh-so-sad.
