"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

One year of blogging...getting ready for a 1st birthday



Happy Blogversary to me...it's been one year since I started this blog (thanks to Sara Leys for being my inspiration). Keeping friends and family posted on our life here in Montana over the past year has been fun, as has been reading the blogs of other moms. I find myself looking for those "blogable moments" throughout the week...sometimes, as you can tell, I have to look really hard. Last year at this time I posted this photo:


I'm not sure I remember what it felt like to have a stomach that big.



We are anticipating Claire's first birthday next week. We're excited that Nate's mom and sister with her kids will all be here to help us celebrate. Nate's birthday is also next week, and he's been busy researching and testing new fly rods, which will be his present from everyone. He found a good deal on a rod he'll be able to use for carp fishing here in Montana, striper fishing in Massachusetts, and salmon fishing in Washington. Here he is enjoying a few casts in front of the house. Stay tuned for lots of birthday photos next week!

I hope Claire has a good birthday this week and that you have fun with your family. It is hard to remember having stomachs that big, and it's also crazy to think that it was a year ago already...

Thanks for the shout out Sanders! I was so thrilled when you joined the blogging world a year ago and still a year later love reading your blogs.

Claire is just a beautiful little girl and its been a privilege watching her blossom into a 1 year old.
Happy Birthday/Blogversary!
