May 10th Update



Well, we made it through year # 1. We're still amazed that a year has gone by
already. The girls had their first birthday on April 5th and we celebrated with family
by taking them back to Washington. We had an enjoyable time with family but
it took a lot out of us. The plane trip home was enough to not want to
travel again until they're at least in their 20's.

Both Catherine and Charlotte enjoyed lots and lots of cake and got to see some
family for the first time. They had parties at both grannies for two full days.

We also spent Easter in Washington and enjoyed experiencing the holiday with
the family and friends, and watching the girls on their first Easter.

Thank you to all family and friends for all the wonderful
gifts and memories. It was a very special trip which we really enjoyed.

This update also has a lot of random shots since it's been so long
since we've had an update.

Now, LET'S EAT SOME CAKE!

























Ok, enough with the cake. Here are some other random acts of cuteness
at their birthday parties.
