Autumn is like her mom, she loves her birthday. She loves it so much she can't wait to get started with the celebration. With that in mind- Autumn woke up this birthday solstice morning at 2am to scream from the bottom of her heart (or is it top of her lungs) "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I WANT SOMEONE TO HUG ME!!!" .... So her first birthday started bright and ridiculously early with a freshly made bottle and some snuggle time in mom and dad's bed.
It resumed at 6am with pickles (her current favorite food) for breakfast and some quality time with the family. Today will be fun- she will spend a couple hours with her buddies at day care and then mom and dad will come with a cake to share with the class- then home to celebrate with the grandfolks and a special dinner of all her favorite foods (more on that later). There is even a rumor around our house that mom is trying to make a special cake for this special day.... photos (un-touched) to follow.
(note: i am worried I am becoming one of those mothers that is never in any of the photos- we will work on this between the ages of one and two. here is a little one)

Dad agreed to a picture without coffee or pants. That's the kind of dad he is.

Happy first birthday Autumn -- and Rhona and Matt! I always wondered why we don't celebrate the parents. After all, this is the anniversary of the day your lives changed forever.
Send up some cake! A generous slice of mango perhaps?
