While Isaac was happy to sit and eat the ones that cracked :)

One Year Old Clara

 We sure do love this sweet little one year old.  What a joy it has been to watch her grow during her first year of life.  We loved celebrating her birthday with her.  Wish I would have gotten more pics...but I was probably talking too much :)  

Isn't she a sweetie?!

She got a sand box from her mom and dad.  They filled it with balloons for the party and it was a HIT!  

 her first tastes of cake :)  

St. Patty's Day

 Still posting pics from March...boy, am I behind. Anyway, we got to spend St. Patty's Day with some other Irish folk :)  We had Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, and Green Dessert...but best of all wonderful company.  It was little Cal's first St. Patty's Day...isn't he so cute?!   

New found love for coloring

Another thing that he has been doing recently that is like sissy is coloring.  It's neat to see him sit down for a few minutes and color a picture.  Yay Isaac!

Like Sissy

Hannah likes to be clean and is slightly ocd about "toe fuzz".  Isaac on the other hand, doesn't care about being dirty (he's all boy)...but he does like to be like his sissy.  She's rubbed off on him...here he is "checking his toes".  

more family fun and more birthday

While we were visiting Abby...we also were able to catch some family time and we celebrated Hannah's birthday.  

Hannah and Isaac loved fishing with Nana

We went to Chuck E Cheese for Hannah's birthday, and I think we vowed not to go back on a weekend...at least for a while (there were so many people there)...but the kids had fun!!  

 Everything is fun with Uncle Jay!

 yay for lots of tickets!  

 Birthday time, Nana made Hannah a cake

 yum!  

 Hello kitty bubble bath  

 kitty dress up!  

 We enjoyed time with Grandpa too.  

Meet Baby Abby

I have been wanting to get these posted for a long time...finally, here they are!  I am so excited for my first niece!  Here she is...Abigail Marie.  

She was born on Thursday March 1st.  Because of Seth's work schedule and weekends, etc.  we decided to go down Friday night.  It worked out well, but I was dying for that first day...I couldn't wait to get there.  We got to Beth and Adams house late...and then I drove to the hospital.  Beth's nurse was great to let me come in after visiting hours.  It was kinda nice to be there when it was quiet and no children with me.  I was able to sit and talk with my sister and cuddle my new little niece.  You can tell from the pic that it's late and I'd been traveling...but my sis looks great doesn't she?!  How I loved getting to be there with her! 

Here's little Abby...I think she looks like her big brother. 

me and my niece  :)

I love her! 

The next morning,  Seth and I came back with the kids.  This time, they actually got to come into the room.  When Ethan was born, we took turns with Hannah in the waiting room because of the H191 scare.  

They were so excited to meet Abby. 

Isaac LOVES babies..and was thrilled to get to see "Abby"

More love for cousin Abby 

Isaac was so excited to hold her 

Hannah too...she had a runny nose, so she wore a mask. 

Aunt Becky gets more snuggles 

cuddle time with Uncle Seth too.

Beautiful momma and her baby girl

Thank you God, for growing our family..thank you for the blessing of sweet Abigail Marie.  May she grow to know you, love you and serve you with her life.
