Happy Birthday Lizzie!

One year ago today, Lizzie was born!! Last year ago today I was on my way home from visiting Ryan in Old Town (he was helping the Adairs do some roofing) and I got a call on my cell phone that she was going to be born. You can imagine the flurry of excitement and activity that followed this phone call! We were so anxious to get to Louisiana to meet Lizzie and her birth family. What joy Lizzie has brought to us this year! Here she is on her first Easter egg hunt:
The pics are out of order, but last weekend Ryan and Jay participate in the Kenduskeag Canoe race - what a beautiful day they had for the race this year! When they reached the end, Lizzie didn't want to let go of Ryan (you can see the fist tight around his wetsuit in the picture):

On our way home from dinner last weekend, Lizzie took a handful of her blanket and fell right asleep. Ryan was able to take this picture from the front seat. She is such a sweetie!

Here is another picture of the birthday girl in her Easter dress:

Lookin' cool in some new shades:

I will post again after the birthday celebration this weekend (a small family party on Sunday). I hope to get some good baby/cupcake pictures - it will be interesting to see how she likes sugar!
