the only picture i have of ida on her actual birthdate. we went on a brisk walk before church and she decided to take nap. what a lazy sack.
chatting. notice ida standing there with a gift. she is this close to walking.
rave in the studio
spencer + 4 moustaches used in several different ways
the kids. yes, ida is picking her nose for the occasion. apparently one year olds do that...
party attendees. i really shouldn't have been on the side of this picture. i look 4 feet wide and terribly awkward. oh boy. as i am typing this and looking at this again it is making me laugh. holy crap! what IS GOING ON WITH ME??? i am not even looking at the camera!! is that a gunny sack i am wearing? and what the heck is on my bottom?? practically shorts??? in the WINTER?? what the heck! HA HHHHHAAAAAAAAAA. mental.
yup, more mental me, watch out
mum + ida + dad
ida loves family picturestonight we had a birthday party for ida. it was a hoot. we had tasty chicken and rice, black bottom cupcakes, family home evening, a fish pond and dance party. yes, just your typical 1st birthday party bash.
since ida was born and especially over the last few months, i have been asked if we will throw our hat in the ring again. you know, try for another baby. that is a delicate subject. there are so many outside factors involved. personally, i have felt since ida was born, that there is one more little child to come to our family. i would love to add another person and have another celebrated 1st birthday. {i mean come on. who is going to take care of me when i am an old crotchety lady? there needs to be as many as possible so when one gets sick of me they can ship me off to someone else, 2 options just won't do... :)}. so, when i think of the reality that this is it, i feel sad and guilty. i feel guilty about the embryos we have stored away. i feel sad about my age. i feel sad for my kids. i feel sad for myself.
boo-hoo, right? ah, i'm sure i'll get over it.
but not really.

Don't feel sad. You are a wonderful Mother, the children you have are very lucky. You and CJ are great parents. You will make the right decision. Love, Kathy

Happy Birthday Ida. Ok, Im with the above comment. Go for it. Have babies until you feel like your ready to be done. If I could have a baby right now I would seriously consider it. I still feel young and the house gets a bit lonely with all the kiddos at school. Give me a video ring soon. Would love to chat.
Looks like a great party. When mustaches are involved how could it not be! I still can't believe Ida is already 1! Glad you were all able to celebrate the wonderful occasion! Enjoy your 2 little miracles and the rest will work itself out!!
