Austin's 1st Birthday Party!

Here are pictures of Austin's 1st birthday party! We had a great time celebrating his big day with family and friends. Our backyard BBQ got rained out but we made the most of it and had fun regardless. Brett did a great job of converting the garage into a BBQ palace. Austin was in good spirits the entire afternoon and loved his hot dog, potato salad, cake and gifts! Thanks to all our guests for your support and generosity. We love ya!

Sugar...yum!

He was so happy until the party hat went on. It was quickly removed.

Happy 1st Birthday Austin!

It was just after 10 pm one year ago that you were born and it was one of the best days of our lives! We can't begin to describe the amount of joy and love you have brought to our lives and continue to bring each day. You make us laugh, smile, cry, ponder and reflect upon our past and future, and you make us better people. Happy birthday to our little man! Love, Your Parents

Today I took Austin to daycare with cupcakes and balloons in tow. All the kids were excited that it was Austin's first birthday so they could have a party! Here's a picture of Austin with his caregiver, Peggy. He loves her and she loves him. A good combination. When I picked him up after work he was all smiles and Peggy was please to report that he had a great day.

We had a big celebration for Austin with family and friends on Saturday and I will post those pictures shortly.
