The last 5 days have been the most stressful, busiest and joyful in a long, long time. The weekend started off with Bret getting his 1-year pictures taken by a friend; the same one who took Bret's 9 month pics. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! If Bret had more hair on his head I wouldn't have minded not having a hat or jacket on, but he's bald. So there are only a few pictures of him without a jacket on. These two are my favorite so far:
You can not tell me that these pics don't melt your heart....Well, ok, maybe they don't melt YOUR heart but they make me love my husband so much more for being a FANTASTIC dad to Bret and a wonderful friend and "other half" to me.
Although I may be ruining the surprise for a lot of people, the next pic may be the one that we send to friends and family. I wish we could take the credit for getting him to smile so beautifully but we can't. A couple was passing by with their two dogs and Bret just lit up when he saw them
coming. I don't know why but he just *hearts* dogs. I think it's because Caicos bores him now. LOL
His birthday party was awesome. Almost everyone showed up and Bret was in heaven. He played with all the other kids, opened his presents (for about 2 minutes) and then ran around looking at all his new toys. He wasn't too happy when it was bed time!! He was exhausted. I'll post some pics of his party when I have more time - probably tomorrow.
After 22 months, I've started my damn period. I was beginning to like not having one. It's back with a vengence. I started feeling crampy yesterday and then VOILA. DAMN. So now I'm back to "normal".
Bret and I went to vote this morning. It was a zoo. Not because there were a lot of people but because the volunteers weren't too coordinated. The flow of people was terrible and it was very confusing on where to start the process. Maybe I should look into volunteering.....Hmmmm
