More of Daniel's Doings

John commented the other day that I have not put pictures of our children on here lately.  I have been trying to get some, but the days just slip by.  I determined to take some this morning because I have something to show you:  Daniel's first black eye.  It's not the best picture, but the ones below it don't show the black eye very well.  I couldn't decide between them, so I uploaded both of them!

He has also learned a new trick.  We have got to baby proof the kitchen.  I don't mind Daniel playing with my tupperware, but I really would like for him not to break my Pyrex or Corningware.  Doesn't he look proud of himself?

I couldn't post all these pictures of Daniel without one of Sarah Beth.  She is growing up so quickly!

Tonight we will celebrate Daniel's first birthday.  He does not actually turn one until Thursday, but we leave Thursday for Louisiana.  We are just having family over.  Just family!  Ha!  There are nineteen of us, but since one of my brothers and his family are out of town, there will just be fifteen!  I made the lasagna Thursday (that day is prominent in the paragraph, isn't it?), and I was going to make these cupcakes because they are a family favorite, but John suggested buying a cake so I would not be so stressed today with preparing for the party.  Isn't he sweet?  As it turns out, I don't feel like I have much to do, but the cake is already ordered.  Oh, well.
