Birthday Month Celebrations


Marie's first birthday was full of celebrations. We decided it was only fair to have a birthday month - not just a birthday! It started a few days before her birthday with a visit from Grandpa Joe, Grandma Karen, and Aunt Liz.We had birthday cake and playtime with presents and new toys.

Next we celebrated at daycare. Marie brought in sugar cookies with strawberries and whip cream to share with her friends. This completed her first year in the caterpillar room and now we are moving on to the ladybug room. It was sad to say goodbye to her teachers, but we are excited to meet new friends.

On June 18th, Andy officially began summer with the completion of his board exam. We traveled to Sheldon and Spencer to celebrate Father's Day and Marie's Birthday with the rest of the family. This included boating with the Muetings in Okoboji and a birthday part in Sheldon. As you can see, Marie was not shy about diving right into the cake. The puppy party was the perfect way the round out her birthday month celebrations.

It is very hard to believe that our little Marie is one year old already. She is so many things: independent, funny, smart, curious, independent, caring, friendly, social, oh did I say independent? We are always amazed at how much she is learning and growing each day. What a year it has been. Who knows what this little lady has in store for us...
