We Made It!

Clara and Maia turned ONE year old this past Saturday. We celebrated with a laid back morning birthday party at our house. Dad bought donuts from A Baker's Wife, a fabulous bakery in South Minneapolis, and Mom made a fancy fruit salad with organic strawberries, blueberries, and mangoes, and yummy cupcakes. About thirty or so friends and family members joined us to sing happy birthday to C and M and toast to a fantastic healthy and beautiful year.

Clara and Maia have grown up so much this year. We now have babies who crawl all over the house, climb up and down the stairs and furniture, babble incommunicable words, eat solid foods, sleep through the night, almost walk, clap their hands, swim in the bathtub, shriek with delight at anything funny, giggle for no reason, play with their older sister, talk amongst themselves in their own baby language, and clearly love us and each other. Happy Happy Birthday to our beautiful littlest girls.
