First Birthday



Anastasia and Amelia are now one year old. Sunday was their first birthday. They got new Sunday Dresses. While they were sitting at the breakfast table dad and mom spoke in our high pitched voices with our smiles and eyebrows raised and said "Happy Birthday" at the same time, and the knew it was a special day. They smiled with ignorant innocence at our antics and sensed that something very special was happening. Then it was over. They returned to manipulating cheerios with their chubby little hands, maneuvering the cereal into their rounded mouths.

After church we did video instant messaging with Grandma Skembo. After their late nap they were very grumpy and remained that way most of the evening, so I just held them both in my lap in the recliner and watched Thomas S Monson on BYUTV.

The days become months, which become years that are remembered in brief moments and mostly lost to our view, but love remains.

I like the new look of your blog but for some reason it feels like it is set up for a lefty.
