Bike Rides with Dad

Josh's mom found this bike trailer for Lydia at a garage sale - still in the box, never been used, for $20! I think it's probably the best garage sale find ever! (at least for our family) Lydia now loves to go for bike rides with her dad around the neighborhood. Now all we need to find are helmets!

Noah's Ark

Lydia and I have been to the Noah's Ark water park at Winton Woods a couple times this summer. Sometimes she really likes it, and sometimes she's not that interested. But, she is always adorable!

Willing to give it a try.
Yum, open wide!

Lydia is a true Cincinnatian.

Happy Birthday Lydia and Uncle Zak!

My family threw a birthday party for me...

and Uncle Zak!

But, let's face it, when it's your very first birthday party, it's hard to share the attention.

So, we surprised Uncle Zak with a little party of his own... well, it was a surprise, until mom spilled the beans! Way to go mom! Oh well, it was still fun!

Thanks, Aunt Cass, for capturing this awesome video!

Birthday gifts for Lydia

For Lydia's first birthday, her Dad put together this video of her various stages of learning how to walk (with a little help from Uncle Zak). It's amazing to watch her grow and learn so much in just a few months. Josh did an awesome job!




Lydia also received another special video for her first birthday. This one is so very special because it is set to the song that her Aunt Krissy and Uncle Zak wrote for her! The lyrics capture so many of Lydia's characteristics ~ it's fabulous! I choke up every time I listen/watch.
