Happy Birthday Gwen!


What a relaxed and fun Sunday we had today!  We spent the morning huddled at home, straightening things up, folding laundry, sorting through clothes that Sydney has outgrown.  All those things that you always mean to do but never seem to find the time for.  It was nice!

Early this afternoon we walked up the street to our friend Lori and Marcus' to celebrate their daughter Gwen's first birthday.  Well, let me clarify, Paul and I walked up and Sydney pedaled herself with her own steam (and a little push from Daddy!) on her new bike.  Man, is she loving it!

Sydney was so excited to go to Gwen's party today, even chose a brand new dress to wear.


Gwen's party was fantastic.  Lori did such an amazing job of every detail.  We so enjoyed visiting with the Dunbar families and playing in the backyard enjoying the first, of what I'm sure will be many, summer barbecues.



I still can't believe this sweet girl is one!  I vividly remember the day she was born last year and sneaking to the hospital to visit her and her Momma just hours after she arrived.  A year....wow!


Syd loved the little loot bag that we came home with too, all very special treats especially the handmade sugar cookie made by Lori in the shape of a tulip!


Sydney kept herself busy this afternoon with a new batch of playdough that we whipped up.


I got this very cool neon food colouring and we decided to give it a try, the playdough didn't quite turn out neon but we did get a very lovely purple lavender, either way, Syd was thrilled!


It was a nice way to wrap up our weekend, I am feeling relaxed and at ease and ready to see what this week brings our way!
