Oh What A Year We’ve Had

As Jace starts into his second year of life, we have spent some time reminiscing about his first year. We had special events such as parties, weddings and funerals. We traveled to five states outside of Washington. We had countless “amazing moments” when Jace demonstrated a new skill or cracked us up with one of his quirky tricks. Even routine days were extraordinary. It was an amazing year of firsts and the Paulsons are grateful to have been blessed with wonderful family, friends and a little boy who reminds us each day that life is precious.

It is hard to believe how much Jace has changed since that rainy day last December. Here are an assortment of awesome Jace pictures from the past year.

First Birthday Party

On Saturday we had another birthday party for our 1 year old toddler. Stephanie had a grand plan of making a cake that resembled Jace's favorite stuffed animal, Hodgepodge. I will let you decide how it turned out!

Yeah, the platypus turned out amazing. Special thanks to Amy and John for their help.

Though it looked good, the biggest test was whether Jace appreciated it... These pictures say it all.

All in all, a very special, fun day for the Paulsons. Thanks to those that joined us in celebrating. We had a great time! Here are a few pictures from the great day.
