Busy Weekend

We had a busy and fun weekend. Saturday morning we had James' 1 year pictures. He had been congested during the week so I knew it was only a matter of time before he got a runny nose. It was a little runny on Friday, but of course, started really flowing on Saturday during the photo shoot. It is hard to try to blot a runny nose(without making it red) and get a smile all at the same time. James only had 1 meltdown, but I really think he was hungry because it was after 12 by that time. So I didn't get any pictures in the porcelain claw foot tub that I've always admired at the studio. Oh well. After James calmed down we did one last set of pictures with him and a birthday cake. The photographer said that most kids don't do well with the cake and end up crying. I thought James would do well because he loves ALL food. He devoured the cake in a matter of minutes and loved every minute of it. We were concerned that he might get a stomach ache, but he was fine. I think the pictures are going to be so cute. They should be online Thursday so I'll post the link and password.

Once we left the studio we headed to my parents for Papaw's birthday party. The weather went from rain, sleet and then snow in an hour. Here is a clip of the large snowflakes:

Sunday afternoon Todd's Grandparents and brother Justin stopped by for the night on their way home from TX. It was great to see them and we were so glad they stopped to see us. Just one year ago they came through KC to visit baby James in the hospital.
