happy birthday mason!

a year ago today emily had her third baby boy, mason. somehow, very last minute she decided that she didn't mind if i stayed in the room for his birth. it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life (thankfully, it was a quick and easy labor so it didn't scare me too much!). he weighed the same as me when i was born (7lbs 11oz), which is just the first of our many bonds. he is a sweet, sweet boy...i can't believe he's already one!yummy cake!


it was a dress up party. we were the addams family-not very attractive, but we were going for first prize. i had forgotten that mike was growing a mustache, so when he picked me up at the airport, i was pretty appalled. but it was perfect for his costume!it was really hard making a straight mustache! mike: "look honey, a girl after my own heart!"

me: "i guess i'll take a picture."
a flight attendant, morticia addams, cindy lauper, a ballerina
(its really hard not to smile when someone is taking a picture of you-but i tried)
