Bethany turned 1 year old today. We had her party yesterday. Yesterday, all of her grandparents came and inundated her with presents–the “plastic noisy” kind like my friend Luke says. Hey, plastic and noisy are fine–she seems to love it.

But today, she was teething and running a temperature on her own birthday. It’s just so sad!

2006 has been crazy–and I think we went a whole year unpregnant! It’s been a couple of years since that happened!

Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl.

She was way less messy than Timothy
Blinded by the array of presents.
Happy Birthday, little girl!

Andrea’s parents show up to love on Timothy and Bethany

On the way back, Timothy enjoys his first ice cream cone.

I know he looks like devil Timothy… but I don’t have a Red Eye Remover on my linux box.

Timothy is playing with his plethora of trains that he got for Christmas. We live in Thomas’ world, and he’s running it.

“Now look at me.. “, he says to salty, “You don’t push Annie and Claderbel (sic.). Now you get spanking! Now You get lots of spankings!”

I’m sitting her blogging it so I don’t crack up in front of him.

“It’s okay… no spankings…”

And then a few minutes later…

“You get spakings… lots of spankings!” Then he’s hitting Thomas and then Salty. Hmmm… I don’t know what to think about it.
