It is hard to believe an entire year has passed since the day we welcomed Sean Michael into our family. I have so many thoughts and feelings about it I hardly know where to begin. One thing is for sure, this is a year I will never forget. Grammy and Auntie Diane came were visiting to celebrate with us. I guess we shot video of the birthday dinner and cake, but here are photos of Sean's birthday morning.

New water table. The best present for a third baby is the one all three kids like:) Great job Auntie Melissa, Grammy & Charlie!
We left the next day for a camping trip out the McKenzie River at Paradise Campground with a bunch of friends. It was a perfect place to camp with kids. We shared cake and ice cream in Sean's honor there as well. We'll celebrate in Portland with all the family at the end of the month just before his palate repair surgery. Here are some camping photos:

Sean's birthday was on a Thursday. I got my hair cut that day for the first time in over a year! It was long enough to donate to Locks of Love, an organization that provides real hair wigs to children in cancer treatment. It feels great to have all that heavy hair off my head and not being pulled on all the time. I love that I was able to make my not getting a hair cut because I had too many other more importnat things to do count for something.
