In Memory of Mom - February 15, 2007

Deirdre lost her beloved Nana today, and I lost my Mama. Deirdre was the light of her life. We miss you dearly and we love you. My children will know who you were and what you did for your family.

Deirdre Walking - February 2007

Our baby girl took her first unassisted steps the night of her Birthday Party. We maded a video of this and sent it around to friends and family. She was very proud of herself and seemed to know she was doing something special.


Here she is caught in mid-step


She kept waiving around her birthday presents as she walked, future color guard?




And at the end of it all, she crashed on her "ginky" - walking is hard work when your stats are 100% for weight, and 50% for height....

Deirdre's 1st Birthday February 2007


We were very excited about Deirdre's 1st Birthday. We had a nice party with family at our house. I made Deirdre a homemade cake with homemade chocolate frosting and paid the ultimate price by burning my arm in the oven. I guess I now have a forever keepsake whenever I look at my arm and see the scar... Perhaps this was due to the pregnancy brain women complain of, because I was 2 months pregnant with Deirdre's sister.


As you can see, my sweet girl very much enjoyed her party, especially her cake.




Blowing out her candles with Papa, okay so Papa did more of the actually candle blowing, Deirdre was mostly spitting...



I think the sugar is hitting her bloodstream here.....



Looking at Nana for her approval "Yummy Yummy"



More posing for Nana



If you look closely you can see the snow in the background on the bushes, we got a huge storm the day before.



The balloons were a big hit.
