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!

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!
