The last few weeks and today.






Wow, so many things have been happening!
School is off and running and I am really enjoying my kiddos this year. Toby is busy and is still working in town, hopefully that can last as long as possible!
We took Anders to his first Kelso Hilander football game. He is so good, I think it's because there is just so much to look at. We have been practicing having him put his arms up when we say "Touchdown!" He's just about there.
Earlier this month Anders started taking a few steps. Each day he get a little more courage and tries to push himself that much further. This past Saturday evening, he walked across the length of our living room rug to my Dad. I was just so happy that my parents were able to be a part of something BIG for Anders.
We also had his 1st birthday celebration today. I was so happy that some of my family was able to come to our home and help celebrate Anders 1st birthday. I just hope they truly know how much that meant to me. I know that not everyone was able to make it but still, I actually had MY family here!
Anders was great for his party. He took everything in, enjoying opening gifts, and was quite calm about his cake. He did lot's of playing and by the time everyone left we sat down and he was out.
I still can't believe that a year has gone by. Toby and I have a wonderful son who has brought so much joy to our life. So, tomorrow on Anders birthday I think Toby and I should celebrate the fact the we made it through the long labor and delivery. For crying out loud, poor Toby has those images etched into his brain...the poor guy!
We miss and love you all!

That would be great! I've just been so busy with the kids I have this year! How have you been? Oh, I meant to ask, how did you list the blogs of friends to your profile? I'm just dumb that way!
