A visit from the Great-Grandparents

Recently, my grandparents came to Phoenix for a week to visit. They came with the hope to meet our new Lily, but it didn't work out. She came, of course, while they were on their way home! While they were here they celebrated their 51st anniversary and my Grandpa's 70th birthday! We loved seeing them and miss them all ready. As usual, they didn't come empty handed:

Ari had a blast showing them her superb present-opening skills and has since had a blast playing with her new toys and eating her yummy treats. Thanks again, guys! We love you!

Happy Birthday Kristen!

We wanted to give a special birthday shout today to the most wonderful sister / sis-in-law / (and especially) aunt in the world! Kristen, you are such a beautiful person and we are so proud of everything that you do. You are a major blessing to our little family and we appreciate so much your love and support.

I'm so glad that we have gotten to know each other well and have grown so close.

I hope that we are able to return even a fraction of your love, kindness and generosity.

Have a great birthday! We love you!

Ari is One!
