05/11/2009 - 1st Birthday

Yesterday was Leah's birthday party (birthday is the 15th) and we invited everyone who had kids to come after church to celebrate. Leah is finally a year old, but the time went by so fast.

Church was great, but no one came from the outreach we did Saturday unfortunately. Gena, the guy who came to teach at the JW seminars, taught this morning and took an in-depth look at the gospel and used a variety of scriptures.

Afterwards, we had Leah's birthday party so lots of kids and people were at our house. It was fun, but very draining. It was themed with Leah's favorite movie, Finding Nemo, and Grannie Emerson was kind enough to send a variety of party supplies. A Markey tradition is to let the birthday boy/girl to have their first taste of sweets (cake) all by themselves - just let them go at it and see how much of a mess they can make. Well, Leah enjoyed it and ate half of the cupcake we gave her and she;d probably have eaten the other half if we let her. However, she didn't get a single smudge of icing or cake anywhere on her - only her hands.

As far as yesterday goes, we just had a chill day. I had to go to a practice during the afternoon because of the conference, but the rest of the day was just to relax because it's been a few days. I took Christina out to a Mothers' Day dinner at our favorite fancy restaurant.
