Lila & Patrick turn One

Here are Lila and Patrick just shy of their first birthday.

If you go back to the March posts I have some St Patrick's Day photos of these 2 at 12 weeks old.
Here they are all dressed up for the holidays.

The clothes had an old time feel so I created an

antiqued look to the photo below

What a couple of cuties.

Ok so they are happiest when walking about.

We had to take a few birthday poses since they will be celebrating soon.

Happy Birthday wished to you both.

Balloon Fest

You have to get up pretty early in the morning if you want to catch the Hot Air Balloons being assembled, inflated and launching. Up at 4:45 a.m. and heading to Hudson from Stow (where I spent the night so I wouldn't have to get up even earlier) I got to the site just as the truckloads of balloons were arriving. The entire event was over before 7 a.m. but it was awesome to watch. The photos below speak for themselves. It was an amazing dawn.
