It's hard to believe but Savannah is 1! This year has gone by so quick & we have loved every minute of seeing Savannah grow into a toddler. Ahh that's a little scary to say:-).
Savannah woke up all smiles on her birthday & so did I because I was not in a hospital bed in pain. But all the pain & discomfort was sure worth our little girl. Savannah had a fun day "playing" while mommy & daddy worked to get the food, house, & cake ready for her big celebration. We had everything set up outside but the weather decided that it had other plans for our party. At 3:30 the Kansas wind as I like to call it started & 40 mile an hour winds & rain changed the party from outside to inside. We had our neighbors, friends, & cousins here to help Savannah celebrate turning 1! Everyone was anxious to see her dig into her cake except daddy:-). Matt kept saying lets cut it in little pieces but he was out voted by the crowd. Savannah wasn't to sure about cake--pretty much she smashed it. She didn't even take a bite but I say prolong the sugar intake for as long as possible:-). Savannah also was able to meet her cousin Hayley & loved Hayley. She just wanted to keep giving her hugs & kisses it was soooo cute. It was great that Nate, Kristi, Kim, & Hayley were able to join us.
The past month has been pretty busy for us. We went to the State Fair with our friends so that was a day full of eating & walking. Then both Savannah & I were sick with a cold--not fun. Matt has been to Chicago twice & then a very, very short (40hrs) trip to Europe when he was really sick with the flu. Which I got the day he left--we are hoping we got it all out of the way before flu season. Savannah & I started our ECFE class & MOPS. We are really excited to meet some new people & have some playtime with other kids.
The weather has made the switch & I don't know if it is the start of winter or fall. We are suppose to get our first frost this week--boo! I know that the white stuff will be flying soon but I was hoping by some miracle summer would stay just a little longer. Oh well, we are excited to see Savannah play in the snow & waddle around in her snowsuit:-)
The next two weeks we are getting ready for VACATION!! We are going to San Diego, CA & are very excited to have some downtime. I know we will have lots of pictures when we get back:-)
We hope all is well with everyone & we will see some of you in Nov. Have a great week & stay warm!
Attached are pictures of her birthday party & our trip to the state fair earlier this month. Enjoy!
Matt, Jeri, & Savannah
