Our baby turned a year old! What a year it has been! It just feels so unreal. It has been a big year. Full of change. We are so glad we have this busy baby along for the ride!
We had to get a cute birthday shot.
We had family over to celebrate with lunch and cake this past weekend. The older kids were insistent that we should have at least cupcakes on Lydie's actual birthday, so we did.
We still can't get over how strange it is to have family pop in for cake if it fits into their schedule! It just feels so strange to be close enough for that. We are still realizing all the change in this first year of our move.
Lydie had a little fairy cake with mushrooms from the fairy garden.
She did not want to sit in the chair and have a picture taken. She was tired and a little under the weather on her party day.
Lydie and Grandma Laursen.
I experimented with some new recipes, and our families were my guinea pigs. Butternut squash soups, Greek salad, Balsamic-honey chicken, rolls, pumpkin spice donuts and cake. Some I will repeat and hopefully perfect.

Some of our fairy garden brought inside for table decor.
As with all my children, the day and moment Lydie came into our lives is sealed in my memory. The amazing moment when the warmth, and weight of a tiny human who was not there minutes before is on your chest. Just unforgettable! We love you so much Lydie Lula!!
