It’s really hard to believe that Cali will be celebrating her first birthday this coming weekend!  I will always remember getting the call on Labor Day last year while I was vacationing in Charleston to find out that Cali had made her arrival to our dear friends Stan and Kristen.  It’s been quite a wild year for them as they’ve not only added a new member to the clan but also moved back to Indiana from Tennessee, made new friends and started new jobs and adventures along the way.  I cannot tell you what a joy it has been to have them only a short hour away!  Cali has grown before our eyes…so much better than through pictures!

Kristen is planning a button-themed party for Cali’s birthday and knew this custom shirt and tu-tu (from Maggie Moo’s Mom) would be a great complement to the festivities…and equally perfect for a quick session as well :)

I’m wondering if anyone has noticed the slightly bare spot on this pot of flowers from Cali picking them off…it was for a really good cause!

Cali has the cutest smile and BEST cheeks ever!

Miss Cali, I wish you a very Happy Birthday filled with lots of sugar ;)  Kristen and Stan, we are so thankful to be a part of your lives and and share in the celebration of
Cali’s miraculous little life and what she means to all of us!
