Happy Birthday, Audrey!

2nd Birthday!

1st Birthday: 2009

Birth day: 2008

More photos to come from Audrey's Birthday celebration -- but I really liked the sequence of these photos of the 3 of us (and I cannot believe how much we've all changed in the span of 2 years!) Audrey had a fantastic birthday, thank goodness for dairy-free cupcakes and wonderful friends and family :)

Sleeping Beauty

Cleaning the house this afternoon (really, I was), I went in to check on Audrey and found her like this. Love her!

Almost 2

How can my daughter almost be 2 years old??! I will never forget her birthday, the day she was born. Mostly I will never forget how BIG she was, but I will always remember meeting her that day and the moment they laid her on my chest and looking at her for the first time. She likes it when I tell her this story :)

Cousins!

Just a sweet pic of the two sweetest little girls I know.

Give it up for Audrey!

This week is Food Allergy Awareness week. 3-5 million children have food allergies, and as many of you know, Audrey is one of them (dairy). I encourage you to join us this week in bringing awareness to this issue and 'giving up' a favorite food as part of the campaign (and beyond). We'll be giving up nuts this week (on top of our gluten-free/dairy-free paleo diet). Let us know what you're giving up! And do check out the Food Allergy Initiative. Thanks!
