Mattie had a very nice birthday party. She is excited to have new things to wear and play with. As you can tell from the picture, sleep was a necessity. Some friends came by Saturday night and brought her a huge stuffed sheep dog, she was very animated over it and seemed to really enjoy it. Thanks again Nancy and Hurshel. Her Aunt gave her a very large stuffed duck, so yesterday I put it in the floor and she crawled all over it. It's so good to see her enjoying her toys. Today, she sleeps recuperating from her weekend. What a blessing and miracle for her to turn one year old.

until next time,
