A 1st Birthday

Birthday parties are always great, but the first birthday is such a sepcial time. This is the first time Ewan had sugar of any kind (that I know about!) and, in case you can't tell, the first time he's seen birthday candles! Uncle Byrne built Ewan's Tonka truck walk-along toy. I made a torte layer cake that looked beautiful for about 2 minutes! There is a picture of my mom and dad, my cousins Halee and Carly and my "big" Grandma that sums up all of our family gatherings. Everybody is laughing so hard, you can't hear yourself think. Ewan in the b.at-h tub might be the best photo of the day.

swim lessons

I had to add a few of these photos of Liam with his dear instructor Ms. Ren. We've had a little trouble getting him to learn to swim. I think, with all of his allergies and things, it's just been a lot harder for him to relax and get the gist of things. He is well on the road now, though, and I'm sure he'll be giving the dolphins a run for their money in no time. So, every week we are driving to swim lessons where Jacob and I ususally end up fooling around with the camera and Ewan has the time of his life!
