We had a small birthday party to celebrate Molly's first birthday. It's hard to believe our sweet little cupcake is becoming such a big girl! Here are a few pictures.

One!
My sweet baby girl is ONE year old today! Happy Birthday Mary Margaret! (yes, I'm pulling out her "big name" today.)
I'm too exhausted to write much, but I wanted to make sure that I posted today. I took her to get portraits done this morning and this evening we went out to dinner as a family. I had made cupcakes, but by the time we got home she was too tired (although Tommy made sure he had one.)
We are having a little party on Saturday, so she will have a chance at her first cupcake then! And hopefully we will get some cute pics of the birthday girl.
We've been strolling down memory lane this past week remembering all the excitement we felt when we got the news, the big road trip to Indiana, meeting her birthmother, etc. Here are a few pictures from one year ago...

Seven Quick Takes
1. My two kids are sleeping right now after a super fun morning at the park with friends. Let's see if I can actually get through an entire post!
2. I can't believe that summer is winding down. As always, the time seems to just fly by. It's been a good summer - great trips to visit our families in California and Nebraska. But way too few days spent at the pool. It's been soooo rainy this summer, but the fast few days have been absolutely glorious. We've spent as much time outside as possible.
3. I know I'm not alone when I say I LOVE FALL! So even though I enjoy the lazy days of summer, I get all giddy thinking about football and cooler weather and the taste/smell of anything baked with pumpkin!
4. My sweet baby girl turns ONE next week. I'm still in denial about that. She is so much fun these days, despite the fact she is getting into absolutely everything! She is starting to talk more and more. And she laughs a lot! Her personality is starting to come through and I love discovering who she is and who she is going to be.
5. Teacher meetings start next week at my school and I will attend a few of them. I will continue with the same schedule this year - working Monday and Wednesday mornings. I am so blessed with this part-time job. I enjoy staying connected to my school and the wonderful people there.
6. (Molly is waking up... I'd better hurry!!) My mom and I continue to make plans for the baby shower we are throwing for my sister in law. It's going to be so much fun and I'm looking forward to a quick trip home to California.
7. I went to Mass alone last night for the Assumption and it was so peaceful. It reminded me that I need to get better about carving out some quiet time. It seems impossible these days, but I know that even a little bit will go a long way.
Thanks to Jen for hosting Quick Takes! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. :)
