The Big Bash

Well, Chapman is officially one!! And man did we bring it in with style! He had a wonderful party on Saturday in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with extended family and friends totalling over 30 people. Here he is having a big time.

He's getting his cake. Everyone is sitting in front of him watching!

We had such a wonderful time at home for the week and the vacation was topped off by a great birthday party. We thank each and every one of you who came to celebrate the special day with us. We love you and thank God for you. We are truly blessed!!!!!

Early Birthday Gifts!!

Chapman has already begun to cash in on what we know we be a great 1st birthday (November 13th)! Gigi and Pops gave him a few gifts early and he sure has been enjoying them. Here he is pushing around his train. He seems to be really close to walking.

Here he is sitting at his new table!! He loves it! He needs some friends to join him.

Trick or Treat!!

We took Chapman Trick-or-Treating last night. He had not had a nap yesterday afternoon which meant a grumpy & tired giraffe for sure! After he got finished chowing down on some Papa John's pizza (I had no idea he loved this so much!) we went out for a little candy gathering. I'm pretty certain we didn't get as much good candy because Mitch was strolling him up to the door saying, "Trick or treat - our giraffe is tired." I just know the thought going through the person's head, "This dad is going to go home and eat every bit of this candy because there is no way a child who can't even talk can eat any of this!!!!" Well, Mitch had no shame and as a result we have some candy to munch on. We - meaning Mitch & I. Chapman won't be enjoying any of it! : )

First Haircut!

In preparation for the 1 year photo session, little Chapman needed a haircut. We took him and he was too cute! He did not understand what was going on but was such a good sport. Mitch held him in place. Now we are ready for pictures!
