Happy Birthday Jude

Wow! Where has the year gone? Our little guy turned 1 today - at 6:20am officially! The top photo is of Jude today @ 1 year old and the bottom photos is of him @ 2 hours old. Jude has grown so much and learned so much in one year - can't even imagine what the next year will bring for him.

We are soooooooo lucky to have 2 wonderful and healthy boys. Thank you, God.

Oh yeah, happy 4th of July!

Carnival

We just got back from the Cresson carnival - our annual event. We dodged the rain drops, but Jude got to ride the merry-go-round and Jackson got to run through the fun house and the ferris wheel (with mom)!

Just too cute - had to post!

Jude Playing

Just had a few minutes to put up a post. When Jude plays, he takes advantage of
everything he has including the box we store his toys in!

Ribbit

Jackson found a toad outside our house and wanted to post these photos. This seems to be turning into our nature exploration blog!

Birthday Party

Happy Birthday, Little Man! We had Jude's party yesterday. It was raining outside, so we had the party inside. Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate. It's really hard to believe that Jude will turn one on Friday. Thanks to Nate for grilling, Grammy Linda for the EXCELLENT cake, Ga-Ga for the side dishes, and everyone for the fun and festivities! Jude was blessed with many gifts including a vacuum cleaner from Grammy Linda and Pap Jerry, many books from Aunt Dana and Uncle Nate, a bag full of goodies from Zach and Maddie, a computer and remote control car from the Aunt Salpot gang, and many cards from everyone!

Jude seemed to be most interested in cousin Xavier, who turns one just one week after Jude! I foresee a long friendship ahead for those 2.

Looking forward to Friday and all the fireworks!
