second

this weekend was all about matilda, as it should be! our baby girl is now a "preschooler" according to babycenter. say what? before i was pregnant i would obsessively go to that website and read about pregnancy success stories and when i got pregnant i used it all the time to see what was happening each week. now, i never look at it! i don't need to, i have this living, breathing beautiful girl growing so fast before my eyes. it's amazing really.









we went to the atlanta zoo and had a cookout with delicious burgers on the grill. quinoa mac and cheese, stewarts orange cream soda, and heavenly cupcakes from miss mamie's. may i recommend the sweet potato. you're welcome.

matilda received so many sweet phone calls, cards, messages, and treats from our sweet family and friends. we felt really blessed by everyone that made a fuss over her. it really means so much to us to feel the love! birthdays mean a lot to me, especially hers.

So sad I wasn't there for Matilda's birthday . . . times like these make me especially miss being home. :( She looks as precious as ever, and I can't wait to talk to her on the phone . . . love you all, sweet Grahams!
