First Birthday Bash!

Last Saturday we had a big barbecue party at the park to celebrate Greg's first birthday. Many of our friends were there and it was so great to enjoy it with them. We can't believe how fast this year has gone, and how big and wonderful Greg has grown! We are just so proud of him every day! And by the way, he took his first steps the day before his birthday. He's still only doing 3 or 4 at a time, but he's getting braver all the time. He's so proud of himself when he does it too - its hilarious. We'll keep working on a video, but its a little tricky since he's distracted by the camera. Anyway, here's a few pics and videos so you can feel like you were there too!

Father's Day Weekend

Grandpa Mike and Grandma Coralie were down for the weekend - it was so great to visit with them. Greg just loves all his Grandparents - I guess he likes all that attention! We mostly just hung out, went out to eat a few times, and enjoyed each other's company. Here's a few pics:


Video Catch Up

Sorry these videos from our CA trip in May are so late... Enjoy!

Kayla playing videographer:


Sorry this one is sideways, but its cute. Greg shakes almost everything he plays with just to see if it makes noise. Grandma Mary and Grandpa Nick fittingly got him a music set for his birthday with bells, maracas, etc., and a drum too. He loves them!


Cuteness playing with Grandpa Nick. Some adorable clapping in this one, and the funny face he was making the whole time we were out there - scrunching up his nose.


Aunt Kayla - need I say more?

California Trip

We were in California last week - Dan had a conference in LA and we took advantage of the opportunity to make a visit out of it. It was so great to spend such quality time with the family - words cannot express how much I miss you guys!! It was so special to see Gregory bond with each person - I grieve that those relationships cannot be more continuous. As he gets older, though, he'll start to remember these good times in between visits and will be able to communicate on the webcam and stuff - that will help. I know we have always said that closeness is not dependent on proximity, but it sure helps!

Anyway, here's some pics to enjoy. There are many videos too, but they take a long time to upload so it'll be a few more days before I have them up.
