Our sweet girl has turned one year old! She is so much fun. We had a party for her on Sunday and had some family and friends over. We are so happy that so many people were willing to bear the heat to celebrate with us! As always seems to happen if you have parties of 20+, I felt like I talked to no one and took very few pictures.

Here is one of us with Sunshine and her gorgeous cake:

Here she is enjoying her cake:

And before the party with her Daddy, her Uncle Jeff and her cousin Cam:

And modeling one of her new dresses:

We also started swimming lessons this week. She is doing great and loves the pool. We got a comment from an observer there that she was the smiliest baby there all day, and I don�t doubt it! Today, she even went under water. I think she might turn out to be a swimmer like her Daddy. I will try to get a pic of her at her lessons next week. I n the meantime, here is one of her at home in her suit before her first lesson:

My ma said she was having a "Helen and Cam" attack, so I thought I better post some pictures ;)

Click the pic to see a few more, including a few of Helen with her uncle Joel.

Didn't quite get them holding hands... but they did for awhile :)

Thought I'd post a quick update regarding unclehood :) Jeff and Jess named ther little boy Cameron James. He was born on 1/23 and weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces. Here's a pic:
