Roman's Birthday Weekend

On Wednesday October 6th, Roman turned 1 year old!! He was quite ginger and unsure about the presents which I venture to guess will change as he gets older. But this birthday we had to do more of the unwrapping and the oohs and aahs for him as he found the remote control more exciting!

Daddy got us a pocket size video camera to document his birthday events. He enjoyed playing with the AV cables instead.


His birthday bash was on Saturday October 9th where we offered him his small birthday cake. We had to help him realize that the goo on top of the cake was really delicious and worth eating.

he gave up the use of his hands to just dive into his cake and thoroughly get himself covered in cake and icing from head to toe.
Nanny and Annie (Matt's mother and sister) Came into town for this memorable occasion. They made the weekend even more special. on Sunday we went to the nearby Pumpkin Patch to pick out a pumpkin and see the farm animals.

They grow their own pumpkins and pick them daily. Below are the containers of pumpkins that have been harvested and ready to be sold.

we ventured out to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkin and let Roman find the one he wanted. That only resulted in him playing in the dirt and tripping over vines.

We are so blessed that Nanny and Annie were able to come into town for his occasion. It really did make it so special. We had a group of wonderful friends who took time out of their days to spend time with us for Roman's birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Next stop- holidays in TX and MO.
