Angela Turns ONE!

She's not a baby anymore by definition, but she will always be our baby girl! Angela celebrated her first birthday a little early on April 7th with her friend Alethea Waters who turned one a few weeks before her. We had a small birthday party for the two of them with some family, a few friends, Korean BBQ and cupcakes. It was our first party in our new backyard. Some of her little friends came...Ada Linscott, Emily Childs, Lenko, Katelynn, Timmy and Kylie Way, Peyton Tully.

It was special that Grandma and Grandpa Olson were able to be here for the festivities. They spent a lot of time with the kids while mommy made preparations for the party. 

This milestone marks that end of the infant stage in the Knight household. We look back with smiles on our face over the last few years we have had with our babies. It is sad to think about not hauling infant car seats, burp clothes, large diaper bags, and bottles around. It is funny to look back at how different our two children are and how unique their entrance was into the world. We have enjoyed this phase of attachment and will always remember the special bonds we formed with each of them. Dave and I were reminiscing the other night of our fast and furious birth night with Angela and the character building experience we had with Tyler's birth. We look at the blessing she and Tyler have both been on our lives and we have so much joy because of them. 

Thanks you Angela for bringing us so much joy this last year. We are so grateful for our little girl!
