How fast this year has flown by. Excuse me, can we just slow down time? Just a little? My tiny infant is now bordering on toddlerdom. How can something be so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time? :: sigh ::
We had a little party for Lucy today to celebrate. Pretty simple really -- the lovely "1st Birthday Dress" her cousins wore on their birthdays, dollar store decorations, Rob-made-from-scratch Birthday Cake and ice cream. Add in friends, family and a gaggle of babies and voila! a wonderful birthday afternoon.
Without further adieu-- Lucy's Birthday In Pictures:

Happy Birthday Lucy! I love her birthday dress....absolutely adorable!
Too cute! what a fun birthday she had.
Love the first birthday dress, and I love the simplicity of the whole event!
some of the pics say they are unavailable. :(
Aww happy 1st year Lucy! She looks simply beautiful =)
Happy Birthday, Lucy!!! It looks like Lucy had a great party! (Although many of the pics say "unavailable")
Funny you describe Lucy's first birthday as beautiful and sad at the same time because I was feeling the same way about my Zoe soon turning one. As I was rocking her to sleep tonight and praying over her, all I could do was weep. I feel so blessed to be her mommy, but it saddens me that time is going so quickly. It really does seem like we *just* brought her home, yet in 5 short weeks she'll be ONE! How can that be?! I wouldn't change a thing (other than slowing down time). Truly bittersweet.
I hope Lucy's second year brings you even more joy! God bless you and your beautiful family.
Boo..I can't see half of the pictures.

Happy 1st Birthday to your little Lucy, what a milestone! Btw, the pix are lovely, could u disclose what kind of camera do you have? I'm in the market for a new one and am having a hard time finding one that takes good indoor pictures. Yours were great.
Beautiful baby and great cake!
