Daphne is One!

Wow, what a weekend. Our Luau was rained out of the park, so at the last minute we had to scramble to find an indoor space for sweet Daphne's one year celebration. We rented a room at the local mall, then slogged all of our Hawaiian gear through an absolute deluge to make a party.

But in the end, darling Daphne turned one after all. We made the best of a strange situation and celebrated our baby girl. Not quite walking yet, she was still the life of the party.
