We Made It!

Well, friends, Cass turned one year old last Friday.  Dan and I took the day off work and drove over to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, where Cass giggled at the tigers and watched the silver-back gorillas with wide, saucer eyes.  It was chilly and overcast when we arrived, but the sun came out soon after and it turned out to be a classic spring day.  I hope that we can do something like this every year on our little guy's special day.  We ended with dinner at Upstream Brewery, whose asiago & artichoke dip and yummy house-brewed seasonal stout are certainly worthy of mention.



We hosted the actual birthday party on Sunday and about 30 friends, family members and neighbors joined us for a potluck bbq, cake and lots of outdoor activities.  It was another beautiful day, perfect for basketball, sidewalk-chalking and tandem/mini-motorcycle rides up and down the block.  Thanks to all who came and we wish that those of you who live far, far away could have been there.

Wow, I can't believe it. One already. The years always seem to fly by with little ones. You look great by the way. Glad you had a great time. I am spending my morning today shoveling snow. Can you believe it?
