Gresham is 1!!!

My baby is now 1! His birthday was on the 10th, and we had a party for him on Friday night. But first, let's reminisce a little... he was such a cute newborn...

And here he is at three weeks old...

The day of Gresham's party was rather exciting. Grandpa and Grandma Dees came to town from California, and Aidan and Jordan went with them to the State Fair. Too bad I don't have pictures of that... While they were gone, Gresham and I stayed home to get ready for the party and deal with the big plumbing mess we were having. The kitchen sink stopped up on Thursday night (good timing!) and Jordan tried plunging and Drain-O, but alas, we had to call a plumber. $132 later, the sink was fixed, but we may have to have more work done. The sink was stopped up with mud, and how it got there, we don't know. The mud was actually in the pipes under the house. We probably have a leak of some sort in the slab and will have to have the floor jackhammered up, but we'll know more next week after they send cameras through our pipes ($$$$$$). In case you're wondering, the warranty expired 4 months ago. Hopefully our insurance will cover it...

Here is Gresham opening a castle set from Grandma and Grandpa Packard.

We got him this Little Tikes car, and he loves it. You can probably guess who also loves it!!

He hasn't mastered how to get out yet...

The cake was not a hit. He is not a boy with a sweet tooth. He loves meat, casseroles, cheese, and veggies, so good for him!

The next morning he was playing with his new car and found this bag of tissue paper!

All in all, it was a very happy birthday. He has a new plane from Grandma and Grandpa Dees that he loves, and a new ball and clothes from Grandma Evonne. Aidan picked out a couple of bath toys for him.
