Ahh...Breakfast with the Beatles...a tradition we start tomorrow AM by moving the pink iPod alarm clock from the nursery to the kitchen. I just can't imagine a better life than: Breakfast with the B-Lu, the Beatles, and the Bob (not nessa in that order).
Yes, we all survived birthday number 1 last Saturday, and I'm just now recovering enough to blog about it. In attendance were the great grandparents from Ohio (Kitty and Art), grandparents in from CT (Marilee) and Savannah, GA (Allan and Gloria), our Roswell Howard family (Jo and Paul), two great aunts (Jojo and Beverly) from Marietta, GA and Tybee Island, GA, respectively, and last, but never least, the Cumming Four (David, Vicki, Katherine and Andrew). And, of course, our dearest Anna. We had a pizza party, and actually ran out and had to have more delivered. Marliee made Lucye this adorable Dora (the Explorer) cake...decorated freehand mind you...and the pictures should be up on the website this weekend. Lucye did finally decide to make an appearance (the party started at 4:00pm; she awoke from her nap somewhere between 5:00-5:30pm). Everything was going pretty well until we strapped her into her booster seat in the dining room (mistake #1) and all started singing (mistake #2) Happy Birthday. She lost it....We knew better...she is such a sensitive child. With everyone staring at her and fire and singing...sensory overload! And she had no idea what to do with the cupcake...no one else had started eating so she smacked it on the floor! Ha! She calmed down pretty quick though (thank goodness) after being whisked away for a few minutes of peace and quiet. Later, safe in her kitchen, she watched us eat more cake and did try it then. Milestone: First pure refined sugar ever (that we know of). She also indulged in her first sampling of pizza ever. We were so proud! Toys and clothes....I can't begin to list them all and can't thank everyone enough...For those gifts we got from those not in attendance: Can't wait to read the Caterpillar book to her from the Loverins in CT and Isabel actually got her a push buggy car to ride around the house in....And I know she'll love the new CD from the Sergis. See website pics....This weekend we have BIG plans....to relax. Love to you all and thank you for helping us in so many ways get through "the year of the B-Lu".....Aud and Bob
