Look at my hat...I am 1!

Last weekend Kate took Mom and Dad to Indy to visit ALL her family to celebrate her 1st Birthday. Kate loved seeing everyone and had a great time eating her birthday cake! She had so much fun that she skipped her 2nd nap and did just fine the rest of the day. Kate and Cousin Cyrus enjoyed playing together and loved their new rocking horses from Great Grandpa Feldman and Aunt Patty. The day was such a wonderful celebration of her life and we appreciate everyone for taking time to come. We appreciate all the wonderful gifts she received! THANK YOU!! The verse we have used as we celebrated her 1st year of life has been 1 John 3:1 "How great is the love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God!" HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!


1st Birtday Cake

Papaw and Grammy Briscoe had hats just like me!

Lets eat!!

I have waited ALL year for this!

To say that the 1st year of Kate's life has gone fast would be a true statement. It has been amazing to watch her grow and see how she has changed so much in such a short period of time. We thank God daily for the blessing of her life and for the awesome responsibility of being parents. Thank you to all of you who have prayed, encouraged and supported our family during her 1st year of life. We are so deeply thankful to all of our friends and family who have been on this journey with us. We are blessed to have such a wonderful support group! As Kate continues to grow, we pray that God will watch over her every step and continue to grow in her life. Kate we love you and thank God for you! Happy Birthday!!

Kate Turns 1 on Vacation!

Tate's first Big League Game!

Siesta Key Florida

Kate loved being with her cousins

Kate took Mom and Dad to Florida to celebrate her Birthday on June 29th. We spent the week with Grammy, Papaw Briscoe, Uncle Tony, Aunt Brooke and cousins Tate, Mateya and Tregan. We had an amazing week in Siesta Key and thank the Lord for the time to relax and be with family. Kate enjoyed the week with her cousins and she LOVES the water! Mom and Kate spend time at the pool with Grammy and Papaw each day...she even came home with a tan! Kate celebrated her Birthday with a cake and lots of presents. Kate enjoyed each day watching cousins; Tate, Mateya and Tregan. They each were a big help watching Kate and helping her continue to learn how to walk. Papaw, Uncle Tony, Cousin Tate and Dad were able to take in a Tampa Bay Rays-Boston Red Sox baseball game at Tropicana Field. It was Tate's first big league game! Thank you to Grammy and Papaw Briscoe for ALL they did during our time in Florida! WE are so grateful for the wonderful memories and time together!
