Guess who's one...

Believe it or not, our baby boy Gilmore had his first birthday yesterday. Here he is just starting out, I can't believe he was so small! It has been one heck of a year, but he has brought so much to our lives and now I don't know what we would do without him.
To celebrate, we went over to Katie's (where it all began) for cake and presents. Since his cousin Valentine is also his biological sister (strange, but true) it was a joint party for both of them. Of course his other cousins were there. Daisy & Snickers got their own cakes, while Lucy & Ringo tried to steal some of Gilly's. Katie had lots of yummy treats for the birthday pups, and Sarah and I got a sweater for Val and a windbreaker for Gil. Click here for photos from the party. Keep in mind, these dogs were trying to eat a frosted cupcake and it was kind of sticking to their tongues. They are not as ferocious as they might look!
Gilmore's first year of life has been full of adventures and education (for all of us). I can't wait to see what next year brings! We'll let you know...
