Rylan & Elizabeth's Reception

We celebrated Rylan & Elizabeth's wedding at an open house at Paul & Deb's house in Virginia. The decorations & food turned out great. The weather was perfect & everyone had a really nice time. Here are pictures of the Peterson & Monacelli clans and also the awesome quilt that Ginia-mom made for the newlyweds.

Picking Up Dad at Work

Gabe moved into his new office building which is 0.20 miles from home. Campbell & I have been walking to meet him on his walk home. Campbell likes to hold her daddy's hand as she gets pushed in the stroller.

Pool Party

Campbell & I had a pool party in Virginia with Jodie & Greta. Campbell had a lot of fun splashing in the water & playing with Greta.

Another Birthday Party

Campbell & I had a birthday party for our Minneapolis friends & family at GroTonka Park. We had a great time playing on the playground, visiting & eating. We couldn't have asked for a better day - the weather was perfect.

My Baby is One!

I can't believe Campbell is one year old. I can't believe how fast it's gone. At the same time, I can't believe how much we've learned and grown as a family. It's been such an awesome experience!

I turned 30 yesterday. Kind of sad, but I'm glad that Campbell and I have birthdays so close because it took my mind off of my birthday.

Tonight was our National Night Out, so we went to the neighborhood party. Campbell took my cone and ate the whole thing. I wouldn't have normally let her eat so much ice cream, but I figured, you only turn 1 once!

Baptism

We had Campbell's Baptism at Ginia-mom & Papa Stan's church. Campbell looked like a little angel in a dress that Ginia-mom made for cousin David. Aunt Velura surprised us by having a cup for the holy water & Mariah/Sherrill/Natalie gave a tatted/embroidered cloth to wipe the water. So nice of them! I can't believe they did all that on such short notice!

We had a party afterward to celebrate Papa Stan/Campbell/Livia's birthdays. There were about 20 people there & we had a great time! Campbell was very spoiled with all the very nice presents and she got to eat a cupcake. I should say that she inhaled it in one big bite.
