Happy 1st Birthday Little Man
One year ago today (at 7:10pm to be exact, 10 minutes after we arrived at the hospital) we welcomed this little man into our lives. It is amazing how he has found his own place in our family and how it is hard to remember what our family was like without him.
From the day he was born he has always had a placid temperament adding another dynamic to our little family. However due to my slackness in relation to taking photos last night at a family dinner to celebrate his birthday we were not able to capture that side of him.
{the story behind this photo} Eden was on photo duty, I was on Lachie duty. Eden was worried that I wouldn't be happy with the photos so we decided to swap jobs and as the camera changed hands and we changed positions Lachie decided to put the candle out with his finger. We relit the candle for the 'happy birthday' song but the damage was done. {we now have no good photos of Lachie and his cake}
{the story behind this photo} Before everyone went home we decided to bath the children. Six in the bath is fun for awhile (the sixth little head is behind Lachie) but when you have had enough you have had enough.So even though we don't have the photos to prove it Lachie did have a good time last night.
This afternoon to celebrate we hung out as a family. We tried to fly a kite that Lachie got for his birthday but it was unseasonably still for Tassie and I could not run far or fast enough to make the kite stay in the air for very long (though I am sure I looked amusing running down the road with the kite and Chloe chasing me).
The kids love it when Daddy is home because it means we play by his rules which are always more fun. He suggested that we go to the gravel pits behind our house where we played 'Kings and Queens of the Castle' and just enjoyed being outside (something that does not happen enough in winter).
We spent the rest of the afternoon jumping on the bed, making music with new instruments and eating soup from a can (bad Mum, I know) to make more time to just be together.
What better way to spend your birthday then hanging out with your family?

oh no - poor Lachie - no happy pics on his birthday! At least you got a great pic of his cool cake. I'm so sad I missed it - was wishing I was there all afternoon. The boys had a great time.
i can't believe he is 1 already! happy birthday lachie.
there is nothing wrong with soup from a can - we do it too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACHIE!!! Can't wait to see you and your walking self! Even though there is no proof I am sure you were happy, how could you not be with such a great cake!!!
Feliz Cumpleanos Little Lachie! We wish we could have been there with you... The cake looked great Stephannie, I can see why everyone needed a bath after that one! We love you all! Besisitos from Chase xxx
