Audrey just loves her Daddy. She laughs at him and is always smiling at him. And whenever she gets fussy, Daddy can really soothe her by just holding her. She really adores him! And it really is a sight to see Carl playing guitar for her. Sometimes she just watches him, studying his hands and his face and the guitar; other times she shouts out in excitement. She is such a happy girl spending time with her Daddy.
Audrey wanted to give her Daddy a really special gift for his birthday:

Carl go to spend his 31st birthday getting ready for Audrey's baptism. Lucky him, right? We really put him to work making him run errands and clean and move furniture. But the cool thing is that we had a lot of family in town. It was neat being able to have them over to celebrate his birthday. On Saturday night, we had Grandma and Grandpa Larson (Carl & Joyce), Aunt Jennifer, Grandma & Gramps Patton (Tim & Donna), Aunt Amber, Aunt Ashley, (Great) Aunt Faye and Uncle Jim, and (Great) Grandpa Hahn over for Nancy's pizza and black forest birthday cake (at Carl's request of course).
Carl's birthday also marks the 1 year anniversary of when we found out that we were expecting a baby. We had no idea then if our baby was a boy or girl and what he/she would be like. It's an understatement to say that being Audrey's parents has really exceeded our expectations. She is the best! So fun and so beautiful and funny and happy. We could have never imagined being so lucky to have Audrey as our daughter.
It's hard to believe that last year we were on a Metra Train Pub Crawl celebrating Carl's 30th birthday, and this year we were celebrating our daughter's Baptism. What a difference a year makes!
