Braxton's 1st Birthday

This weekend we went to Braxton's 1st Birthday Party. He is so cute and smiley. He just went witht the flow and took it all in. In case you are wondering who is Braxton? He is Marilyn's grandson. For those who don't know who Marilyn is. . . She is a cousin on the Calabrese side and she is also my children's adopted Grandma because she has been with my children every day since they were 6 weeks old. She takes care of them while I work. If it wasn't for her, I don't know if I could honestly work. I am so content and happy knowing that when I drop my kiddos off in the morning that they are with someone that truly loves them and will take care of them like I would. She seriously is the BEST! I could go on and on how much I love and appreciate what she does. . .Anyway I had to put this picture of Braxton and then a picture of Carlie and you tell me that they are not a spitting image of each other. It is so funny how the genetics go through all the generations.

Carlie at approx. 17 months


Braxton at 12 months
