HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Here is our sweet thing when she first woke up and saw the balloons! Riley and I did this with Jake for his first birthday so this time it was Riley, Jake, Grandma, and I.










Fern quickly decide that they were very fun, and then sat down to enjoy them! Plus everyone was smiling and saying Happy Birthday!!











Here is sweet Fern in her new jacket complements of Aunt Mary! We are waiting to do presents and cake until we are with Dad, but Aunt Mary thought it would be good to open this now so Fern dose not freeze!
How fast this year has gone! What a wonderful blessing Fern has been to our family. And what an amazing blessing it was to have her born at home. For that reason it was hard to leave our house in Anaheim. I could never imagine having a baby in a hospital again.

We heard today that we will be signing the papers to close on our house next Tues. at 1:30pm eastern! I still have a few states to cross I better get going! We are now thinking about flying since there have been some weather issues here and there. We will keep you all updated! Love ya all!
