Felicity's 1st Birthday

Saturday, 31 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-08
Actually I should title this "Felicity's 1st Birthday Party" because we didn't do a whole lot on her actual birthday, which was on a Thursday (April 10).  Instead we waited until the following week when her grandparents from Ma

Houston, we have a tooth.

Friday, 7 December 2007 5:15 P GMT-08
Miss Felicity's first tooth has *finally* started to pop through!  I actually noticed it the day of Jeremy's swearing-in ceremony.  I was changing her out of her fancy dress in the back seat, and of course she was screaming because she
