Happy Birthday Mr. H!


Happy Birthday Hazen!  You are simply amazing.  Even with a broken leg, you don't miss a beat.  You are crawling around with your gore-tex cast, pulling yourself up to standing, and make it hard for anyone to know that you are actually wounded.  I hope this "go get 'em" spirit is never lost.  May you continue to give big smiles, snuggle big snugs, blow lovely kisses, and go with the flow.  You make our world a much better place.  Thank you for making our family complete exactly one year ago.  We love, love, love, love you!


To celebrate Hazen's special day, we made homemade chocolate buttercream cupcakes with white chocolate frosting.  Hazen's special "Godparents", Tom and Cara joined us for the celebration.  Cara just got back from almost a month in Central America, doing great things for people who need great things in their lives and she is sick as a dog, but she wouldn't miss her special guys 1st birthday. 



And to wrap it up, John and I took the kids to Mad River for "Roll Back the Clocks" Day.  Lift tickets were $3.50.  We each got to take three runs and Cally took her first run all the way down the double with her Dad. 


All this and we made it back to Hazen's 12 month check up  just in the nick of time.  He's still in the 75th % for height and head circumference.  His weight is a bit of an unknown b/c he came in at 20 lbs. 12 oz., but has a cast on, so we aren't sure how much that weighs.  In any case, he's a healthy little guy-- growing as he should and not letting a little leg injury get him down.
