It's her party....and she can cry if she wants to.

Actually, it was their party. Emma and her cousin Asa shared their 1st birthday party. They were born within 4 days of each other. They shared a baby shower and I am sure there will be a long tradition of sharing in their future. The party was on May 7th. Emma's birthday is May 8th and Asa's is May 12. It was a beautiful day! We are very thankful for that, the forecast was for rain. That's Maine for you. It never know quite what it wants to do here. There's really only two seasons here: winter and summer. Last year, summer was on a Tuesday! Anyway.... enough Maine jokes. Who can really believe that time flies. I felt like the 9 months I was pregnant lasted forever, but the first year that Emma has been with us has flown by. Such is life, enjoy it while you can. You'll have an eternity to think about what you did with it later.
