Daddy and Josephine in Mike and Amy's (our cousin's) pool

We recently made a trip to Ohio to see our family. What an incredible experience for Josephine. Although a week early, she celebrated  her first birthday with her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins–can I just tell you how touching it was to have everyone share it with her (both my family and Krysta’s)! It was a great opportunity for her to see how wonderful and caring our families are! As you can see in the picture, me and Josephine got a chance to cool off from the HOT day.

By the way, it was soooo awesome that she received the many, many birthday presents–especially some “cause and effect” toys that will help her learn! In the last few days, her face lights up any time we bring one out for her.
