Katie is 16 weeks along, tired but doing well. Come mid-June, we’ll have ourselves another boy or girl around the house!

We were delighted to throw a huge party for Paloma on her first birthday last week, August 30. She definitely partook in all that the party had to offer including some of the savory treats that mom and dad put out for everybody, but the cake was no doubt the highlight. We took far to many pictures to even admit to taking, and we proudly deleted almost none of them. Instead of throwing them out for you to sort through, we decided to make a quick mini-movie of her first cake eating experience.

Paloma handled the cake quite well (”manhandled it” might be more appropriate). Seeing her eating her first tastes of a refined sugar treat it would appear that she may have both inherited her dad’s sweet tooth AND that the Holly food gene is dominant.

Below are a few of the better pictures from her party.
