Happy Birthday Jane!

My sweet little Jane turned one! I can't even believe it! Where did the last year go? Just look at her, isn't she the sweetest thing you ever did see?She started off very dainty and just poking around at the cake. Then she decided to dig in!

She loves to help me unload the dishwasher, whether they are clean or dirty! I tell her "thank you Jane", and she laughs and grabs me another spoon!
Can't you see why I'm just totally smitten by this little girl? She really is my angel!
On another note...here are a few other things we've been up to...
Halloween! The boys had SO much fun! Jane experienced her first Halloween...if the candy bowl was anywhere within reach she booked it there! It was hilarious! She opened a kit kat all by herself, and she enjoyed her first sucker as well. The boys loaded up with candy, and we handed out toothbrushes at the door with our business cards attached (with a piece of candy as well). The word on the street..."that house has toothbrushes!!!" We handed out about 200 and got LOTS of parental approval, as well as excitement from the kids about it! Funny, huh?
Grandma Julienne came a few weeks ago prior to opening to help out. She got to come watch Cameron's soccer game as well. It was so fun to see her! Next time we're going to make her stay longer than just a day! The boys were sad she had to go so soon.
Cameron's birthday is next week. He's invited 6 boys and then Kate. It's so funny. He told me today, "Mom, you know who I like the least in the whole world? GIRLS!" What? When did this start? Kate is different, however. Kate is a pal that Cameron will always just love! I tried to get him to invite another girl to his party but he'd have nothing to do with it. Just Kate, Mom.
When Braden isn't playing with Jackson, he's quite smitten with little Sally. I can see the picture now...20 years from now...a happy couple with their little baby! :)

Well, that's about it. We've been really crazy, but who isn't? I've been up at the office a lot, but am starting to phase out. It's been really good though.

Tom has actually been really busy. He's seeing about as many kids as he can see in a day with just one assistant. We're contemplating hiring another assistant or opening another day. It's really going well! We had an ad in the newspaper last week and are getting ready to send out 11,000 postcards over the next 3 weeks. It's all really exciting for us.

Happy Birthday Jane. Time sure does fly doen't it. Brian will be 15 months on Election day. I love all the pictures. Glad you had a fun Halloween. We did too. It wasn't freezing and actually nice to be outside. What a great idea to give out toothbrushes. Leave it to the Dentist. Glad you are all well.
Hugs
