At 7:47 this morning, Maddie is officially 1 year old! It is so hard to believe, but it has been a wonderful year. To celebrate, we went to South Bend for the last weekend to have birthday parties. We spent Saturday with Chuck's side of the family. It was a hot day, but we made do. We had a cookout and then cake and presents....everyone's favorite photo opportunity!
After that we went for a pontoon ride. As you can see, all the kids (young and old) had a good time!
Sunday we headed to church with Jill's side of the family and then had a cookout at Mammaw's house. Again, it was a lot of fun. Maddie got a little more into the cake smashing, but can you believe that after all this cake smashing, she didn't eat but one bite of it?? I guess that is a good thing that she isn't a sweets lover yet!
Sunday evening Chuck had to leave and go back to Indianapolis to start his new job Monday. I stayed on until Tuesday. Monday I had lunch with Alanna (who I have been friends with since the third grade...that means almost 20 years! Oh my!) After that, Randi, Mammaw, Rachel, Maddie and I went to Battell Park to play in the "shower park". It was fun. Maddie is becoming a water lover and Rachel had a fun time running around! 
Monday evening we had dinner with Mom at a favorite local haunt....Doc Pierce's. Yum. It was a great trip and great to see everyone. We hope to do it again soon!
We are getting Maddie's pictures taken this morning, so be sure to check back for some photo previews again!
