ONE YEAR LATER

Last night we had a super rad Mallow Roast in the back yard. Totally awesome people came and chowed down on the mallows and smore's. L-dub brought up the point of what a difference a year makes in the lives of motherhood. I was reminiscing of last Halloween season and how that was the pinnacle of Lady's colic and my anxiety. Those two concoctions don't make for a pleasant time. This year is much more relaxed, happy, and secure than last and the only thing I'm anxious about is how I'm anxiously looking foreword to my favorite season of year.

Last Sat I snuck into the zoo with Mrs. Silver. We had a grand time. And really... what a difference a year makes. What a miracle- the amount of growing and learning a baby tolerates in just one year. Wow.

SHannon! Do you realize how much she has grown??? I dont even recognize her. We have to get together before our kids grow old and we are grandmas!

I am glad you averted the wardrobe crisis! How special that you have a picture from last year and now this year. Wow. really does show the growth! Love the zoo - I had a mid-life crisis when Nat graduated from high school and yes, my two kids went to the zoo with me.
P.S. Yes, Kashi and Cricket need to have a play date. That would really make Cricket happy!
