So, our little baby is one year old as of July 14th, but we celebrated like rock stars on Saturday! Well, OK, maybe not rock stars, but certainly like proud parents! Mama painted this sign for Nora, which the unexpected rain showers quickly destroyed.
Here is Nora's teacher, Ms. Jennie--whom Nora just adores and our friend Dave with his daughter
Madeline, a mere four months younger than Nora.
And another Urban Cousin of Nora's:
Taryn, all grown up at 2 1/2 and very sweet with Nora, who has been a very happy recipient of Taryn's toys as she grows out of them (exhibit A in the picture).
Here is a view of the back yard as it was set up for the day, with Nora's very special friends in the forefront: Kathy & Steve Arnold (Nora's Nana & Papa--surrogate grandparents who see her every other week for special time because they want to, which we love) and her Auntie Lauren, one of her favorite playmates.
And here is our wonderful friend, Sara (also Taryn's Mama), holding Nora! For those of you who have raved about the Southwest Pasta Salad served at this party, Sara was the chef who brought that dish. She says it is super easy, but I'll bug her for a recipe and post it here when I get it!
And stay tuned, we have THREE more posts full of pictures! It was a very fun day, despite the rain. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and thank you for celebrating Nora's big #1 with us and for keeping her in your lives as she grows.

Looks like such fun... we're so sorry to have missed the festivities. We'll have to get together soon.
Hi Birthday girl,
Your birthday looked like alot of fun, grandma wishes she could have been with you but will see you next month. Sorry about the rain when I heard about it here in Oregon I just knew you parents were going to be worried but it looks as if it all turned out just fine. The celebrating babies 1st birthday on the news you can clearly see that Nora outshines all of them and is the most beautiful. A star already. The day was a true reason to celebrate.
