Ezra's a Wild One!


In the blink of an eye, our squishy fat newborn baby transformed into the wildest little rambunctious toddler.   We celebrated his first birthday at a local park with a bunch of our closest friends & family and it was so great to be able to have everyone together at once.










Ezra loved the party and was off exploring the entire time.  He hated the cake though.  As soon as that frosted touched him he wanted nothing to do with it.  He even ran right out of his frosting colored outfit straight to Reagan.  It was pretty adorable.









Speaking of cake, the desserts were the cutest thing ever.  The main cake was a gift from Ezra's aunt Lexy.  She also made the smash cake and cupcakes! Everything was beyond adorable.  We had walking tacos for the main food because they're simple and delicious.




The decorations were made by my sister's friend, Brenda, and my sister dutifully hung all the balloons which I barely got any pictures of.









All in all it was a beautiful day and it couldn't have gone any smoother.  I'm so grateful to everyone who could make it!

Ezra's first beach trip

We took a day trip down to Delaware so Ezra could visit the beach for the first time.  I don't  think I've ever seen him so happy. 

Sunflower field

Sunday visits to sunflower fields have become an annual September tradition.  For fun, I made a comparison of last year vs this year.  And also, the picture from the first time Justin and I went to a sunflower field. (Fun fact: We had to leave because I was sick.  Turns out, that was the beginning of morning sickness.  So Ez was technically in that picture too)

Penn Hills Resort

In the sprawling hills of Eastern Pennsylvania, the Poconos Mountains were once dubbed the "Honeymoon Capital of The World" - the area was, and still is littered with tons of hotels, casinos, and lodging.  One of the most popular ones - Penn Hills resort, has sat abandoned since it closed in 2009. In it's heyday, the 1960's and 1970's, Penn Hills was an extremely popular place for newlyweds and swingers.  There was an indoor skating rink, a tennis court, ski slopes, a night club, an archery range - tons of things that made Penn Hills the resort to go to decades ago.  Over 100 rooms, on 500 acres of land - they would boast about hosting 1,000 people a night and requiring months notice to book a room. Going to Forest Haven made me feel this deep sadness for everything that the people who lived there went through.  My trip to Penn Hills also left me feeling sad, but more so sad and upset with people.  It was by far the most trashed place
