Celebrations

Weekends are to be cherished.  It's when Brayden and I get daddy's undivided attention and visit with family and friends.  Lately, weekends have been especially fun because we've been celebrating lots of birthdays. Our first birthday celebration took us to Boston (Maynard, Mass. to be precise) to celebrate my brother-in-law, Josh's, 30th birthday.  It was a fantastic excuse for Andrew to take some vacation days and for the three of us to head down to visit Julia, Josh and little Alexei.  We had a great visit and even spent an afternoon in Cambridge touring Harvard!

Next it was time to celebrate with our friends, Hilary and Mark, for their daughter's first birthday. Madelyn had a duck themed birthday party and we had a great time showing our yellow spirit as a family!  Our friends Mel and Derrick's little guy, Hunter, also recently turned one.  Hunter had lots of friends at his party and the parents thought it would be fun to snap a pic of all the kids together.  This was a hilarious photo shoot to coordinate.

This past weekend, we traveled to Waterloo to celebrate yet another first birthday!  My best friend Sarah's little girl, Mariah, had a fun party and we were so fortunate that the stormy weather cleared up in time for the festivities. This was an especially nice party because my closest girlfriends from university were there (less one, MS).  To make the gathering even more special we learned some very exciting news -- LV and her husband are expecting their first baby!  We cannot wait to welcome another little baby into our circle of friends.
