Pictures - go me!

Ok I think I figured this out thanks to my genius former college roomie Ryan - Here is Anna's one year portrait - I know I know she is gorgeous... she has curly hair, nearly all of her teeth including molars and she is very good at saying the word, "No!" I wish I was a free-spirited as she is... she is just so happy all the time, nothing seems to get her down except maybe nap time and being hungry. Having a baby is so much more work than I ever thought it would be but it is also the most rewarding thing I have ever done - I never knew the strength of my own body until I gave birth to a baby! It was a beautiful and I'll admit quite painful experience but you know what, I would do it again... So there's my plug to all my friends who haven't been blessed with parenting yet, come on join the ever growing population and have a baby!

Ok now the fun part - here's the muffin (her nickname)
