A year, and 10 days

Every time I come to update my blog and I am so embarrassed that it has been as long as it has since I last posted. I don't know where the time goes, other than to say that I am a stay at home mom to a 1 year and 10 day old and I am a personal wine consultant, and that keeps me a little on the busy side. But now that I am getting the hang of this wine thing, I *think* I might be able to calm down a little bit.

Sooo...you're going to get Pictures, Pictures and more Pictures.

Ok, so my little girl turned one. No tears, she's too cute to tear up about. She is having so much fun walking and "talking" and she makes me laugh so much. Of course there are days I want to cry because she has been clinging on to me and whining all day....but I don't think those are the tears people talk about when they say they cried when their child turned one.

Birthday week was a big one. Started with my big wine event here at the house on Friday night. Thanks to everyone who was able to come! Then we had Stephen T.'s birthday on Saturday and the first of Molly's many birthday celebrations on Sunday. We headed up to Grandpa and Grandma Jo's house for a party with my dad's side of the family. Almost all the cousins were able to come which was a lot of fun.





We also had two costume parties! Molly was a lady bug.

She really enjoyed hugging her friend the Pumpkin.

And she was a princess! This is one of her latest sweethearts, Tegan.

She also ate her first piece of PIZZA!!!!! I really hope Molly grows up to like pizza...it's so yummy...





We also went Trick or Trunking in a local park with our playgroup. It was a lot of fun, we lined up the cars and kids were able to go down the row and get some treats! Molly was a lady bug again. She didn't really care so much about the trick or treating, but was really interested in the rocks in the field.



Finally the big day came!!! Halloween. Molly turned 1. John brought her next door to the neighbors and then she helped hand out candy to all the kids. She kept trying to follow them out of the yard. Very cute.


The Saturday after her birthday we had the last of the parties here at the house. Molly had a ton of fun. She loves having all of her friends over to play. And after a piece of chocolate cake she was ready to go!




So this is my beautiful one year old. *tear*.
