Oona was quickly out cold after getting a bunch of shots at her one
year well-visit. She is weighing in these days at 19 pounds
(18th percentile) and 29 inches long (50th percentile)- long and
lean. Does Nils beat her, Ann?

Oona's Big Day!

Happy first birthday to Oona! Wow, what a milestone this day felt like for all of us!

We love you, Oona, so much and are ever grateful for all the love and laughter you bring to our family.

Here's a bunch of snap shots of the celebration:

Here's her new kitchen from Nonnie and Papa! Nana and Da got her a shopping cart and lots of wooden food to go with it :)

Thanks so much to everyone who helped to make this a birthday to remember xoxo

Young at Heart Chorus- Live

Last night, Tim and I got to see the Young At Heart Chorus in person. I blogged a while back about the great impression the documentary made on me. The chorus consists of seniors aged 75-95 years old who perform modern and classic rock songs. Their performance is both energetic and emotional! I've never seen anything quite like it. Our good friend, Ken, plays piano in their orchestra and he was able to get us in to this sold out show. Check out a couple video clips taken from my iphone:

Here's the Talking Head's Road to Nowhere

Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark

Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side

First steps!

I'll put something better up soon- but this was literally her second attempt and we just raced to grab the iphone!
