molly's birthday

molly turned one yesterday... kristin and i are in a bit of shock. in some ways, it seems like she has always been a part of our lives, and in others we are dumbfounded that a year has gone by. unfortunately, her 1st birthday is probably one she'd like to look back and forget- she is finally cutting several teeth- all at once- and isn't real happy about it- or the runny nose and fever that go along with it. we got her to "explore" her cake a bit- but the idea of putting things in her mouth right now isn't one she is fond of, so it was fairly short-lived and we didnt really have a chance for many of the required "kid stuffs cake in face" photos. oh, well- we did ok. off to hawaii in six days!
