went to the dentist today
this is very random, but EVERY time I go to the dentist I think, wow, they must really hate tongues. I mean, they are always in the way. Always.

birthday letter to Annie
Hello big girl!
It was just over a year ago that Dad and I realized what we had been missing from our lives - YOU! I cannot put into words the joy you have brought us this year. It has been a remarkably easy transition from a couple to a little family, mostly because we have had a LOT of help. You would not even believe how many people love you and I hope you will remember the beauty of having four generations of women together.
At age one, you....
...love playing peekaboo
...eat everything except lettuce and some raw veggies (leaves and petunias, however, are fair game)
...seem somewhat serious and reserved but that is because you are trying to take in everything
...are long and lean
...have a small amount of light blonde hair that does seem be curling
...sing, dance, and say uh-oh
...are definitely a daddy's girl
...chill out in your stroller for long walks just taking in the scenery
...crack us up with your cheesy "angry baby" smile
...are a laid back, easy, little girl
...love books - you like them to be read to you and you like to "read" them yourself
...are generally adaptable and interested in new things
...are so proud of how you can walk across the room
...have a farmer's tan
...are great company and just fun to be around
You have changed our life 100% for the better. There are no words to describe the love a parent has for a child, and I hope you experience it some day (in the far future - 30 years would be good). If you don't have kids, that's OK too. I hope you stay happy and curious and enjoy all the good things life has to offer. I can't wait to see you every step along the way!
