Happy First Birthday!

It is amazing to think that we have known this joyful, beautiful, funny, perfect baby girl for one year. She has changed our lives forever and we are so thankful for her. We are truly blessed to be her parents.

Check out how Miss Bennet has changed over her first year...

1 Year Ago Today...

...at around 5 o'clock pm, I was admitted into labor and delivery at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Let the 50 hour countdown begin.

And the Award...

for the 'Worst Spring Cleaners in the History of the World' goes to..............

BENNIE AND HER WONDER DOG!!!

Look how they encourage one another on a job well done:

Esquire

On Thursday, Bryant took his oath of attorney and was sworn into the Texas State Bar.

The Honorable Jane Bland conducted the Swearing-In Ceremony.

Halloween Extravaganza

Q: What do you get when you have a lot of dressed up babies (all of whom are too young for trick-or-treating) and parents who are lacking a social outlet?

A: You get The Lee's First Annual Halloween Extravaganza!!!

aka: somewhat organized chaos

Here is a look at our playroom (also called, the room with no furniture)

Before:

After:

Yes, the box tunnel from Diapers.com was the biggest hit of the night. Go figure!

On the Children's Menu:

puffs (organic, of course)

animal crackers

homemade pumpkin baby food

The Party People:

(first halloweens for Noah, Bennet, and Cooper)

Is Cooper dressed up as a skeleton, or Johnny- the mean guy from The Karate Kid?

I guess we can only guess his true artistic intentions.

Even sweet Adeline made the party as a kitty cat!

Bennet and Sarah Grace rocked their "heads" long enough to get a pic or two.

All in all, I think Bennet loved her first Halloween.

Who doesn't love dressing up like their best friend?

A big thank you to Jim and his candy-handing-out capabilities!

And since the "basset hound" costume was already taken, Ida went as a pumpkin... matching her friend Megan!

Too Far?

I think they may have taken the "got milk" bit a little too far.

She's Good

We are not sure, but we think Bennet may be on to us!

Happy Birthday Angela/Friddy!
