I thought it would be fun to put compare pics from last year and this year on the blog – October 3, 2006 & October 3, 2007! 

 

I brought Mike red velvet cake last year and carrot cake this year, but the biggest change is obviously our little girl! 

We did arts and crafts while Daddy was at work to make him a surprise home-made card!

Most of you know we live two blocks from Mike’s office.  You can see the office from our second story – we wave to Daddy every day!  We eventually want to build a house, but our situation is so perfect for us right now!  We love our Daddy being so near!

 

Looking at these pics I’m amazed how much Noelle has grown in one year!  It’s all so amazing and so fun – we treasure each and every day with our little girl!

 

We took Daddy to his new favorite Mexican restaurant, Gloria’s, tonight (who recently beat out Mi Cocina for the lead).  It was so amazingly delicious.  And might I add, they have the best strawberry margaritas and swirls in the world! 

We hope you had a wonderful birthday full of surprises, Mike!  We love you and are so blessed to have you in our lives!
