Jack's Birthday!!

In the interest of documenting the all-important first birthday for our absent family members, we took about a million photos and I've been trying to get them edited and posted ever since. Time for a new strategy! I will post batches, and thus actually get some pictures out to be viewed. :)

The morning view:

We do have video of him coming out and seeing the presents, but I think the file is too big. I'll have to wait for Alex to do tech support on that one!

Of course, the balloon was the best present of all!

Throwing the balloon and watching it float away:

And then bringing it back!

And then carrying it over to Meaghan (our friend who stayed over to help me do all the party stuff) for her to admire!

Making sure the balloon was still over there.

Hey, a tricycle! OOH, curly ribbons!!

Trying to drag it around.

...and that concludes part 1 of who-knows-how-many! It's so much easier to face uploading the photos in little chunks.
