The little things -or- Has it only been a year?




They say it's the little things in life that make you happy. I have to agree. Specifically, these little ones:






Once year ago today, we doubled the size of our little things. It's hard to believe it's only been a year. Annie walks and dances, signs and wrestles with Robby. I'll be making a mark on the wall later today to track how tall she is at age 1, and we'l do this every year until they're too cool for us parents.

I'm so proud of everything Annie has done this year. And so happy to have her i our lives. Here's a lok back at many of the days and events we documented here on Ashford Living -- all about the Birthday Girl!

Dinosaurs! (Well, tracks at least)

I took Annie and Robby to Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill. We saw a lot of dinosaur footprints, and I have to say it is impressive. It's not a big place, but the exhibits are nice, and there are movies, activities, and live appearances by Lizards! Always a favorite for little boys.

I would definitely take them there again.


The tracks are under a permanent dome, and are lit up for viewing. There are hundreds of them



Annie like the pictures


Robby like hanging on the railings and running around




A very neat exhibit
