Yesterday was Isaac’s birthday. My little man turned one! I’m feeling quite nostalgic about it really. I keep thinking… “what was I doing a year from now?”
Isaac was 3 weeks late and the midwives were knocking down my door trying to get me started naturally so that I wouldn’t have to be induced. I’m sooo happy he came on his own. I chalk up his happiness to it. (unlike my daughter who was forced from the womb with a knife and has been unhappy ever since!) (ummm, I’m only sort of kidding). But that is another story.
Isaac has been such a happy baby that I feel supper blessed. He is my little buddy. He’s so busy and fun. So cute! I could chew on him all day. I looooovvve him so much. Oooie gooie gooshy mommy stuff….
Anyhoo… I spent the day running around trying to make everything perfect. I don’t know why we do this to ourselves? I practically rearranged my whole house. I scrubbed my bathrooms, dragged my kids to a couple grocery stores, baked a couple cakes and sat at one traffic light for what felt like forever (1/2 hour due to construction) while guests were showing up at my house. I never got around to wrapping Ic’s present, putting on my make up or making something for my papa (who’s birthday it was also (Sorry Dad, Love ya)).
After all that work, the night turned out pretty good. A good crowd. The cake was yummy. 
Emma had fun playing with her cousins and Isaac liked his new toys as much as a one year old who doesn’t know what’s going on and just wants to go to bed does. I splurged and bought his this cute truck. I thought he’d love to push it around with little toys in the bed. When the night was over, I was exhausted and wanted to go to bed but I forced myself to clean up the dishes. I did leave the vacuuming for the morning. Awww. I slept like a log.
Today, Isaac looks older. It must have been the cake.
My name is Manda and I love creating 
I’m trying out these new frames from scrapgirls.com. What do ya think?
I noticed the new frames, and I love them! Really cute (but not quite as cute as your little boy)!
Oh, I see you found some bendy photo frames! Cute. I forgot to email you about them huh. I’m a slacker.
Sorry about that. Just FYI I got mine from Debbie Knorr at scrapbook-bytes.com and there are also some by Nancy Comelab at My Digital Muse that I really like. And I can’t believe Isaac is ONE–what’s up with that?!?! See ya tomorrow at the soccer thingie.
That cake was really good.
It’s hard to believe I was in DC a year ago with you guys, your pregnant belly and all. Crazy!
I love the little truck and what a deal (I’m assuming you got the sale price). Your blog is really great. I can’t wait to catch up on the posts. It’s funny that even though we’d only see you guys once a year, we miss that! And now that we actually live in N. VA it’s a shame you moved (well, for our sakes it’s a shame!)!
I love those frames and they look really great on your site. I’m not sure they would look as good with my theme, but I’d love to try them. Where did you get them? I went to scrapgirls briefly, but didn’t see them. Are they free? I haven’t gotten into digital scrapbooking (just gave up regular scrapbooking b/c it took too much time), so I don’t know much about this stuff. But they look really cool!
Amanda,
I love your site! You’ll have to show me how you do digital scrapbooking. It looks so great! Wow, your boy is a year! It sure goes by fast, doesn’t it? And yes, we’ll have to get together again soon. Hope you and Jeremy and the kids are doing well!
