Happy Birthday Arden!

Last Tuesday, Arden turned 1! I can't believe how fast this year has gone--but I know this is only the beginning of living life in fast-forward. Geoff and I have been truly blessed by God, and we thank Him every day for choosing us to be Arden's parents. We can't imagine our life without her and the joy she brings us each day!

I only have a few pictures to post from her actual birthday--Auntie April was our photographer at Arden's birthday party so as soon as I get those from her I will do another post.

You want me to do what with this?
And you are sure about that?
Well, let me give it a try...
Yeah, this is as good as mommy said it was!
She didn't even touch the cake part--she only wanted the frosting. Yeah, she is a girl after mommy's own heart :)
She loved the frosting so much, she cried hysterically when we took it away from her. I wish we had a picture...it was priceless!

She had a ball opening her presents. It took awhile, but she wanted to do it all by herself!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!


I know she doesn't look happy in any of the pictures, but she was having a great time. I guess she was focusing hard on the tasks at hand and didn't know why we kept trying to take pictures! (She also had the fever virus later this week--I'm betting she was already starting to feel a little under the weather)

Stay tuned for pictures from her 1st Birthday Party!

She does indeed look intense opening her presents. We are happy they arrived ahead of schedule. The clown puppet and dog pull toy are gifts we found in Austria. Puppets and wooden toys are especially popular there,and so we hope she enjoys them.

Arden is so smart. She already knows that the best part of the cake is the frosting! Loved the pictures.
