my own fine day



Happy Birthday to the best surprise ever! Can't believe we're looking back on an entire year (though the 90 degrees today certainly reminds us of the hot weather the day he was born), amazed at this little person that we got. A very busy guy, Liam definitely makes us think of Molly as a baby: a bit high-maintenance and demanding something all the time. He cannot function without his siblings around, is offended if anyone leaves a room which he occupies, and is trying to making yelling an Olympic sport (or is at least practicing like he believes it). At 11 months, he began walking and is now attempting to run, once again offended if the floor doesn't cooperate. I'm amazed at his will, stronger than my other kids at this age, and his undeterred spirit in the face of discipline. **sigh** He loves to hug though, and make a game of going back and forth between Mom and Dad to tease us, laughing hysterically. By the way, that last picture is not the "birthday cake" picture. That is the evidence of the "I-have-5-kids-and-don't-have-time-to-remember-what-they're-allowed-to-eat" syndrome. He's been eating chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and ice cream longer than I'm willing to admit here. I'm sure the cake tonight will not be as thrilling as it was to the other kids. So, to our little Virginia baby, may God bless us with many more years with you!

Happy Birthday to little Liam! It's hard to believe a year has passed already since he was born! He sounds EXACTLY like Ethan! Boy, I sure wish you were here, then at least we could give each other moral support over having these testy boys! ;-)

By the way......the homebirth is BACK ON!!!!! Janet is the best!

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ALREADY A YEAR!!! How is that possible? You just had him a few weeks ago, I know it!

He and Elizabeth need to get together. They can practice for the Olymic screaming event together, especially when they're left in a room. Although, if we put them in a room together, maybe there wouldn't be any yelling...hmmm..that's a thought.
