One Year Ago Today

We lived in Michigan when I was born, so a lot of people didn't get to see Mommy when she was pregnant. Here's a picture that was taken one year ago today. It was a Sunday morning. After church, Daddy took Mommy to a park with a lake near our condo. After being stuck inside all winter because of the snow, Mommy wanted to be outside. So, they went to this park a lot the last few weeks before I arrived.


Daddy has a remote control sailboat and he'd put it out on the water and sail it around while Mommy read a book. They still laugh about it now. Inevitably, as soon as he'd get the boat out in the middle of the lake, Mommy would tell him they had to leave because she needed to go to the restroom (It was my fault - I moved around a lot!). So these trips were never long!


This picture was taken the day before her labor started, three days before I arrived. At this point, many people asked if she was having twins. I guess when you have a 10 lb. 9 oz. baby, this is what you look like. In retrospect, she's pretty impressed with how well she was still getting around at this point!
