I am one year older! Huh. It feels remarkably similar to how I felt yesterday. No, just kidding. Yesterday I was all meloncholy about my birthday -- it just sort of touches me in a bittersweet way when people try to show how much they love or value me in their lives. I end up feeling like I want to make THEM happy instead. So with that in mind, I am posting some pictures today!

Who doesn't love pictures?

These first two pictures of pictures of pictures because my scanner is so old and murky and ... uh in the basement. The first one is me at my 1st birthday with my two older brothers Shane (left) and Doug (Right)
Here I am at around 2 -- wearing the only bikini I will ever wear in my life time.


My friend Courtney crocheted Morella a hat and now she can finally wear it! She actually had made two, the first one I have a picture of somewhere...but her noggin has now outgrown it.



Look at this crazy hair!!!!
And my old college friend Chuck dropped a surprise visit on us last Friday (which was super nice!) -- here is he pre-baby inspection. He later said she passed.
