I walked into our room to find this.
Maybe we took it down too early!

Helena's Birthday
As you probably figured out from the 525,600 minutes post,
Helena turned one last week.
ONE.
Can you believe it? John & I were talking tonight about Helena living in our house for the next 18 years, and then we realized, NO, IT'S NOW ONLY 17! How did that happen?
Anyways, we had a great birthday celebration. The plan was to have friends over for dinner but their kid got sick and so it was just the three of us. Turned out to be a good thing as Helena was pretty somber the whole day.
After breakfast we all had fun playing in the hallway with Helena's new car.
Thanks Uncle Rob!
Helena has become quite the little mommy around here. If her baby "cries", she will stop doing whatever she was doing and crawl to her baby and give her a hug. It's adorable. So we gave her a couple outfits for one of her dolls. Helena crawled around the rest of the evening with a tight hold on the hangers :)
We'd decided to have blueberry pie for Helena's dessert. (Please notice the smile above. It is the only picture we have from 1/31 with a smile!)
Once she figured out what it was, she really dug in!

Where our reliance goes these days
If you have a question, where do you go? The screen of a computer to go for internet.
Where did you used to go? An encyclopedia, a book, a library. Or a person that you know & trust.
Anybody else think this is sad?
Maybe I'm just a little sad as we decided today to get rid of our dictionary (the book).

525,600 Minutes
525,600 minutes
525,000 moments held dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure, measure one year?
In feedings, in laundry,
In nap times, in dirty diapers.
In inches, in pounds, in kisses, in hugs.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year of her life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love. A year full of love.
525,600 minutes.
525,000 moments of joy.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure one year with Helena Ann?
In tricks that she learned or in times that she smiled.
