Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing all our family and friends a Happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for this year!

Happy Birthday to Me

I turned 1 today and had a party with all my friends. We got a bouncy pink castle which was tons of fun. Mommy, daddy and I went in before my party and I just giggled and giggled with excitement. There were a lot of kids that enjoyed the bouncy, just like me.

I had a big, chocolate cake with icing butterflies on the top. I loved the icing! I tried to be dainty at first but really got my hands into it. I also got a lot of thoughtful presents, we're really filling the den up with toys. That's fine by me!

Happy 232nd, Marine Corps!

Today, the Marine Corps celebrates it's birthday. We all need to be thankful there are so many Marines around the world protecting us and allowing us to enjoy the freedoms they have fought for throughout these last 232 years.

We love having daddy back home again. He's been on leave for a couple of weeks, he certainly deserves a break. I look forward to him getting me up in the morning and feeding me my breakfast. I try to return the favor by cooking him eggs but this is as far as I've gotten.

Birch Aquarium

We went to the Birch Aquarium down in LaJolla today. There is a beautiful view of the beach and pier from the patio of the building and there are some outdoor exhibits daddy showed me. I got a kick out of the fish tanks but it may be a few more months, and some steady walking, before I really have fun with all the exhibits.
