Emma's Birthday

It's hard to believe that Emma is one! She turned one on July 2nd, and for those of you who don't know, that's Bert's birthday as well. Poor guy spent his birthday last year watching me go through 36 hours of labor. She was born at 11:51 pm just in time to share a birthday with him.

And one year later, the morning of her birthday. She woke up with her hair sticking up. I just had to laugh, it stuck up all the time as a newborn.


We had a fun party yesterday, and had lots of family come. We had a barbecue at at a nearby park. Lot's of presents!

And the cake. She loved it!

Here is one of her new toys. She'll be walking by herself in no time!
