Darwyn's first cycle about the sun

Yesterday was Darwyn's first birthday.  One year ago today, Greta gave birth outdoors, in our back yard.  It was 26 degrees C outside at the time.  This year it's a trifle colder: yesterday it was -7 outside, it is currently -3.  No lounging around in an inflatable tub outside for us this year.

To celebrate Darwyn's first revolution about our sun, here are a bunch of pictures.  By lucky coincidence, most of them happen to be of Darwyn, though I've snuck in a few of Max, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Max reading to himself.  "Cars, trucks, and things that go" is his favourite book.

I'm not sure why Max has his trucks on the kitchen counter.  But I suspect he's about to use them to help mommy do some baking.

We cannot keep this baby out of the dishwasher.

 

 

 

 

That diaper liner around Darwyn's neck is a necklace.  She has taken a fondness to necklaces of late.  If it can be worn around the neck then it is a necklace.
