Happy 1st Birthday!

Sorry for the late post, but we have had a crazy week and our computer is down.

I am not sure if it is a result of Eric officially turning one or because the temper tandrums have surfaced and become more frequent, but it is starting to sink in that we no longer have a baby...we now have entered toddlerhood.

We decided to usher in this next great phase in our lives with a party with the family. All of the grandparents flew into Boston and we all drove up to Maine to take over at Dena and Matty's place once again. We had a fabulous weekend. The weather was perfect, the company kept us all laughing non-stop, our bellies were full of loads of seafood, and little man had a blast.

The highlights of the weekend....

- Father and Son matching outfits (At Doug's request...)

- A pretty impressive birthday cake (thanks again to Auntie Dena and Grandma Lohse...see more on http://www.syddesigns.com/)




- Presents Galore!



- Beach time


The weekend would not have been complete without the Grandpas teaching Eric a few things.

Grandpa Lohse taught Eric how to earn a little extra change for his piggy bank...

And Grandpa Wisch is getting Eric ready for the NFL with a little head butting...



A great 1st birthday with many more to come!

If Grandpa Lohse gets more money in his hat he will have to give it to Eric. I am already thinking of what we can do with his 2nd birthday cake.
