Happy Birthday Bethany Joy!!

Anastasia wishes she could give you a birthday snuggle and a few monkey hoots!

We love you!!

This photo was taken a year ago today.

It’s hard to remember our little Squishy so small and squishy.  

Anastasia points out all of the buses and motorcycles that go by while we’re playing outdoors. 

The sweetest, yummies, most-kissable cheeks.

Our little Maritimer eating fiddleheads.

Mmmmm- mmmmm!

Playing under Anastasia’s maple.

(I don’t mean to make it sound like I’m bragging.. but Anastasia had her 12 month doctor’s appointment and not only is she now on the 97th percentile for height and head circumference - which she’s been on since she was born - but she is newly on the 97th percentile for weight! Her weight is the average weight for a 2 year old. She is quickly approaching Grandma’s height and weight!)

Sweet little mouth.

Anastasia with her two besties.

Hadley and Lucy celebrated her first birthday with her!

Anastasia learned so much over her birthday weekend when Gramps and Grandma were here. It was so fun to see!

This happened this weekend!!

Please allow me a non-Anastasia post … and it’s very related to Anastasia because since she was born I have been trying and trying and trying to be able to run again. 

And this weekend Jo, Michaela and I ran the Bluenose 10k!

And it was awesome!

The first pic is us coming up to the finish…. You can’t see Jo because she was sprinting up ahead of us with her arms in the air. Legendary.
