I simply cannot believe that Ella is a year old now. I swear it was only a few weeks ago that Alicia was emailing me to tell me she was expecting a second. But here we are. Full family pictures are a little bit harder because Jacob is a runner. In the past, my husband Nathan had been great with entertaining Jacob and coaxing him to get his picture taken by making silly monkey faces, but he was sick this time around so we just let Jacob run amuck.

We did get a few shots of Jacob in the vintage car before he figured out who to peddle it and tried to run off the cyc.
