Oddly enough, I woke up early, rolled over and looked at the clock...5:15. One year to the day from when we got the phone call. At 7:45, I woke up again to Sloane coo-ing from her bed. One year to the day (give or take a few minutes) from the time she was born. That was pretty cool. I cannot believe that we have been so blessed to have this baby girl in our life and our family and our hearts every single day for the last 365 days.
After breakfast and a little armpit-baby snuggling with cartoons to watch, we all went for a family bike ride because it was such a lovely day. It started to get a little windy on our way back so Scott and I tag-teamed riding the tow-bike with 2 kids weighing 60-ish pounds into the wind up the hills ...it was a work-out!
the birthday part-ay!
A. It was a gale force wind storm. B. Marc and Becky showed up early...like I was still in a bathrobe with a towel on my head early. Yikes! C. We had a super-fabulous burger barbecue with fruit salad, potato salad and corn on the cob...and cupcakes!

| Nana and Papa got this book for Sloane on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota. The first page says "you are a gift from the skies." What else can you say? |
 |
| She loves shoes...gets that from me. |
 |
| Aunt Tiff reading Tale of Despareux, a gift for Tagg from Sloane's baby great grandma! |
