Jen's Birthday Chocolate

I asked for a French Silk Pie for my birthday dessert. There used to be a Baker's Square right by our house, but now you have to drive a bit. I am wearing an oh so attractive blue t-shirt because the dress I wore to dinner was a little too tight for my post baby bod. Maybe next year...
As for turning 32, I am still coming to terms with it. So much has happened in our lives in the last year, it seems almost impossible I could be this old. When all the things your parents said to you while growing up start floating back to the front of your mind, and now they all make sense, you know you're getting older. Still, I would not trade Natty for anything in the world. She lights up my heart when I lean over her crib and she gives me a big toothless smile. I love watching her discover new things, and learn new sounds. I will strive to be the best mom I can be and I hope she will always know she is loved.

1st post on my new blog.
A big thank you to Chris and Melissa for setting my this new blog when my one from Yahoo was disintegrated. I am super happy my posts and pictures were saved from certain doom.
Lots has happened since my last blog post - like Natalie was born!
I will try to post some more pictures and thoughts here, and update more frequently!
Here is a picture of Natalie at my birthday party last month. Look how cute she looks with her floppy hat : )
