8 Days till Party!

I can't believe how fast time goes by. In less than a week my little Sweet Pea will be ONE year old. It truly is amazing how much she has grown and changed over the last year. Over the last couple of months I've been gathering things for her birthday party next Saturday. We're going with a dog theme. I'm going to make her birthday cake (might as well put my decorating classes to work). Grandma has volunteered to take Juliette for an afternoon so that I may decorate without interruptions. We're just having a party with family and Godparents. I didn't feel like doing two parties or having one really big one. We'll invite friends over this summer for a BBQ instead.

Juliette started a music class with the Bloomington Parks and Rec last week. Basically, we just sing and dance for about 45 minutes. Juliette really enjoys being around all the other kids. She definitely is not shy. She usually walks away from me and would rather stand by the other moms and kids. Bryan will be able to come to class this week since he is taking the day off of work to be with Juliette on her birthday.

Grandpa Weldon flies in this Monday for Juliette's birthday and the party. Juliette and I will be flying back down to Florida with him on the 19th since we were able to find a cheap flight. We'll be spending 5 days in Florida. Bryan will remain in Bloomington. It will be very hard for us to be way from him for that long. I'm a little nervous about the flight back IL since I'll be traveling by myself. It'll be an adventure. I'm hoping Juliette will fall asleep right away on the plane.
