Ally turned '1'

It was two weeks ago that I sat down and tried to blog. I have to admit that so far, I am not such blogger that I hoped to be. Oh well . . . We have been very busy and time just slips away right before our eyes. I do have to say that speaking of time just slipping by, we just celebrated Allyson's first birthday last night. Her actual birthday was on Wednesday and we let her open one or two presents that night, but we saved everything for her for the big party last night. We ate dinner, cake & ice cream, and let her open up all her presents. She got lots of fun new toys and some darling outfits. We really appreciate everyone that came and made this such a memorable birthday for Allyson!!

Last Tuesday I did go up north and had a photographer take Allyson's first birthday pictures. Ally was such a good sport and loved the camera. As soon as I get the CD of them, I will post my favorites. So stay tuned!!

Blogging . . . I have for a long time wanted to join the blogging world. I usually spend more time reading others blogs than trying to create one for myself. I finally sat down today and told myself I would try to keep up with what I see everyone else trying to do. I know that I am not going to be able to spend a lot of time on this, but as long as I keep up on the latest, I will consider myself doing a good job. Like I said, I am still really new at this so if anyone has any helpful advise, please let me know.
