Walk

We were all in for a fantastic surprise a few weeks ago when you could actually walk outside and not immediately break out into a sweet. Unfortunately that weather didn't last...but in the mean time we did take a walk down and around Black Creek.

Adelaide's 1st Luau

Wow, a year has come and gone and this is how we celebrated! Just to sum it up almost 20 people were in and out of the house that day and I can promise you that everyone who entered the front door left much fuller. Russ went crazy on the food, everything was from his Hawaiian cookbooks including pork wrapped in banana leaves, homemade macadamia nut hummus, fruit with yogurt and the list goes on and on. Of course we had two cakes as well and thank goodness Adelaide's GG came in town early, because I never would have had the cakes completed in time.

The fun stuff...wait, not so much fun. Adelaide didn't want to smash the cake or smear it all around, she wanted to eat it. She is definitely my kid.

Gifts, oh my gosh our friends and family are so incredibly generous. Adelaide is one lucky little girl.

Of course these are just a fraction of the pictures taken with all of her special guests.

Sleepy baby

Adelaide was really tired the other night. We sat her down with a toy basket in her room and the next thing we knew she put her head down and just sort of fell asleep. What can we say, the kid plays hard.

Chicago

A couple of weeks ago this mommy actually got away for a much needed girls weekend. Nine old timer Zetas made their way to Chicago for Menthol's Bachelorette Party. We did the stereotypical sight seeing, shopping, drinking, eating and even got in a few hours of bridesmaid dress shopping (Leah's wedding will be here before we know it).

All around it was a great weekend, besides the getting sick part but that is a whole different story.

Adelaide was getting ready for her birthday party.

Around the house

Adelaide has officially taken over the former "man room". Grant seems to think that he will get his room back as soon as he is home again, but I'm thinking that's a fat chance.

Here are a couple of pictures of Adelaide's new play mat and her playing on her new scooter.
