Our One Year Anniversary

I'm happy to say that this past April 28th, Joe and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. It seems like only yesterday we were frantically trying to get everything ready and set up for the wedding. Now here we are, a year later and settled in to married life. And it's more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined. Here are some photos from our anniversary celebration. We went north from Berkeley to Sonoma (aka wine country) to go hiking and see some redwoods.

Here I am with a stump. The rings are labeled with events that occured during the time the ring was formed. At the top is the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which I guess was the end for that tree.

Joe is standing in front of "Parson Jones" the tallest Redwood tree around. It measures 310 feet.

WOW Life Moves Fast

It seems like only yesterday Addy was sitting their in her hospital crib with no idea who Missy or I was. Now just 3 weeks away from birthday #2 she can tell her Mom and I exactly what she wants and doesnt want. When she is ready to to get out of bed in the morning and when she is ready to go outside and play. It is a catch 22 really, you want to see her grow up and mature but you also miss the little things she use to do as a infant that made you smile and laugh.

Happy Birthday Addy!
