Birthday Bash

I know, I know everyone is itching for birthday pictures. I promise you that they are on they way! In all of the craziness I didn't even take one photo, but our awesome friend Julia took a trillion (literally filling up an entire 2G card)! She is an incredible photographer (she did Hazel's announcement photo), so you won't be let down!

I'll post a full report once I get the goods!

Perhaps a little too much fun :)

Flock of Friends

We visited one of our favorite households while delivering invitations the other day. The Myers were Hazel's very first big kid friends and she LOVES hanging out with them! They are an incredible family. Despite the obvious age differences, all of the Meyers are so nice to Hazel; it almost makes me want to have another. . . I said almost!

Last time we saw them H wasn't even walking, so she had a blast trying to keep up this time. At one point she was walking around and all of the kids were lined up like ducks behind her! It was precious!

Hazel's buddies

It's party time!

Hazel is training for her birthday party! Don't worry, it wasn't open, although she gave it her best shot! She's growing up fast, but luckily, not that fast! We're planning a crazy zoo shin dig, complete with safari hunt and bouncy castle!

We hope you can make it!

Playground Pirate

Hazel, the playground pirate commands her grounded boat.





Update from the War on Baba (WOB):

Entrenched WOB reporters recently released this report:

A high-ranking WOB Official received an intelligence report from a recent WOB veteran which suggested drastic changes in WOB protocol. The institution of this new doctrine, which called for a new straw cup led to a TWO day baba free streak! WOB Officials are optimistic that there is an end in sight.
