1st Birthday Party

Tomorrow is the big day ... Everett's first birthday party!
Of course, at this age, the party is really for us, so it's turned into more of an afternoon cookout with some family, close friends and neighbors. David is in the kitchen now cooking up a storm! I made him promise to cook something he could somewhat prepare in advance that wouldn't keep him in the kitchen during the party.

Everett had a bit of a rough afternoon. He didn't nap at school and was worn out by the time I got him home. He finally fell asleep and napped a good hour, but man, was he one cranky, sad little boy when he woke up! I've never seen so many tears come out of him. :( I'm pretty sure this is the result of teething. Those top teeth must be more painful than the bottom ones that came in a few months ago. Some Tylenol, Orajel, a bottle, and lots of hugs and kisses ... and he was much better. I just hope he's not that fussy again during his party tomorrow.

We can't believe it's been a whole year since we made the frantic drive to the hospital to meet this beautiful little guy! This past year has gone by so fast ... but yet, I find it hard to imagine my life without Everett being a part of it! I must admit, I sometimes miss sleeping in and spontaneous weekend getaways, but I can't remember ever being happier than I am right now. Life is good!

Stay tuned for pictures from E's party. Hopefully we get a few good ones!
