And now you know the rest of the story

Here are some more pictures from our E'ville vacation.

Git along little doggies. Yee Haw!

This is my least favorite Megan trick. Stealing my pillow. Going to have to work on that.
Playing with Lilly.
Being silly with her three favorite things in the world.

5 down, 2 to go

Last Thursday, Jonathan graduated from High School. It was so fun. We are excited for him to go to our alma mater. We know that he will have a great time. GO COUGARS!!

At the restaurant before the ceremony. Megan loved this donkey.
Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out....
The Fab 7.
Meanwhile, the dads watched the girls at the Heckerts. Megan loved sharing a bath. Especially Kate's splashes!

I Love STRAWBERRIES!!

Megan got into the strawberries Aunt Rebecca picked that morning.

Ted: A Story about a Girl and her Lovey

Meet the newest member of our family. He is soft, fragile, and a strong silent type. He is Megan's new best friend. We have a Tupperware container filled with cute, better made stuffed animals. Of course, Megan goes for the one we won in Halloween Bingo at the ward party. He has been in our family for about 10 days, and I have already had to repair him 3 times. He is not allowed out of the car. Russ is more attached to him (at least to the idea) then Megan is. He is always asking for Ted, and is forever trying to get me to let him take Ted out of the car. Notice what a great dresser he is. His favorite things to do are: fly through the air, do somersaults in the air and sing made up opera songs to Megan. This is after his main job of being Megan's best friend.

One year old Megan

Megan had her 12 month appointment today. She is 19.29 pounds (17%), 28.35 inches (18%) and has a head circumference of 17.72 inches (44%). It was again a very traumatic experience, with the shots, and they had to draw blood. But, she took it like a champ. I can't wait until we get all of these shots out of the way.
But more importantly, as of Sunday, Megan can walk!!! Crawling is still her main mode of locomotion, but she does a little more walking each day. I am so excited. We managed to catch a little of it on camera. Sorry that it is sideways. Our normal video camera is broken, so this will have to do.

Russ will have to watch out for his hygiene. I gave him a haircut last night, and Megan was terrified the entire time. It is very hard to cut hair with a screaming toddler hugging your knees for dear life. Russ said that people liked his haircut. I hope that they were sincere, as it was not the best of circumstances to be working under.

Daffodil Hill

We heard about this place from our friends the Shorters, so we decided to come check it out. It is a hillside that has a ton of daffodils. It was amazing. We also got to drive through some awesome cities in Mid-Connecticut. They were so pretty.

Happy Birthday, Megan!

Yea for cake. I think that this was Megan's favorite part.
Oooooo, presents
The winner (Hands Down!!)
A shot with all of her pictures. It is her at one month, three months, six months and nine months. We will soon have one up of her at 12 months.
Eating cake again.

We had a great day. Russ took a day off and we spent time together. Russ had a hard time letting go of Megan as a baby. It was really cute. We got a lot of nice things and had a great time eating cake, as you can see. We are so lucky to have Megan with us. We really have been blessed.
