One Year Old!

Mila and Nolan turned 1 year old on February 4th. Kari and I have been so blessed in the last year. Because Kari is tough and God is good they only came 11 days early and were very healthy. Our family has grown exponentially and so has our faith. We've learned and are learning so much as parents each day.

On Mila and Nolan's birthday Kari and Grandma Audrey went to story time at the library. After the babies had their nap I came home early from work and we went downtown to some of our favorite locations: Greenbaum's, Gymboree, Picture People, and Venti's Cafe.

Kari had some coupon making a quick photo shoot at Picture People worth the effort and then the babies enjoyed rice and black beans for dinner at Uncle Dino's restaurant. After our adventure downtown we came home and the babies got to "open" their presents.

It was a fun day full of family time.

Story time and birthday shirts!
Nolan loves to give kisses.

Thinking Back: Baby Birthday Eve

Wow, what a year?! All day I've thought about the past year. As we sat down to relax this evening I starting thinking about one year ago today: the eve of Mila and Nolan's debut. With so much running through my head it was definitely hard to sleep. We had no idea what an amazing experience we just ahead of us. We thought we did, but there's no preparation that can explain what it actually feels like to see and hold your own children. God is so faithful! I'm thankful fo have such an amazing wife, son and daughter!
