...and the 1st year has gone by!

Dear Parents & Parents-in-Law:

Our biggest apologies for being so slow with the updates. We've had our fun here with the recent hurricaine (which actually missed us quite easily - but our friends Matt/June/Rivers were not so lucky in Houston!)

Jason has been very busy at work - in a position he just adores....just ask him for details :) Thus, I have finally gotten around to posting some pictures.

We had Jason's friend Mary and her 3 INCREDIBLY BEHAVED and SUPER COOL sons over a few weekends ago. Munch got to experience the concept of 'siblings'. The guys were great about taking in a 4th brother...

(BTW, the story at daycare is that Anderson's teachers are having to catch themselves before they refer to him as Mr. Munch...oh this is going to be a tough nickname to let go of...)to be fair, he does eat a lot!)

Another random picture of total inebriation...
And finally the birthday boy, getting some birthday boy instruction...or he is just mesmerized by the $75 worth of Winnie the Pooh paraphenelia that his dad insisted upon. We were so going to get out of Toys R Us with minimal birthday purchases, until Jason saw the mega sports playcenter (you climb up, go down the slide on the other end, and have multiple sports related activities on the other 2 walls...it's sitting in our family room).

The crowd that Anderson was having to entertain...
He finally got the hang of it...
And celebrated in full birthday boy style (followed by a birthday suit showing). (This picture was a little staged by yours truly. Apparently our son favors carrots and peas over chocolate cake - go figure...)

Thank you to everyone for all the lovely gifts. They were very thoughtful!!

And lastly, Mr Big Boy is taking his 1st steps (as of yesterday)...we are preparing for the journey ahead!
