Number One!

As hard as it is for us to believe, we've now got a one year old on our hands! We celebrated with a cupcake party on Friday. We weren't sure how Nora would react to the party but she got a good nap in on Friday afternoon and was prime for having all of the attention. She loved having everyone sing to her and dove right into the cupcakes.

Here are some Little Tykes trying out Nora's Little Tykes Table.

Here is the birthday girl and her sweet new wagon and water sensory table.

May Milestones

In addition to celebrating my first Mother's Day, I also graduated from Drake University with my MBA. I debated on whether or not to go through the commencement ceremony considering I've been done taking classes since December but I was glad that I did it. You feel a little more of a sense of accomplishment after wearing the cap and gown and going through the whole pomp and circumstance.

It isn't necessarily that Nora is especially excited about my graduation but showing off that she is "so big" has turned into her favorite picture pose. For those of you who remember the "Superstar" Saturday Night Live character from a while back, it is a similar move.
