Buckely's First Birthday

Remember this little man? This what February 2010. It was our first day with this little man than has changed out lives and is our first experience as parents. November 27th his first birthday so I am going to put some pictures of our sweet boy throughout his time.

He's so Tiny!!

What a little stud!

Look! I'm getting bigger!

I'm really serious about picture taking

Bath time and Dinner!

Oh Hi!

On the way to the beach, what a good boy!

This is a more recent picture of our sweet boy from the Cooke Street Carnival.

I made cupcakes for Mr. Buckley's birthday, but at the time we didn't have the camera with us... so just imagine a 1 year old puppy eating a whole cupcake in one bite. There. It was like you were with us.

Ohh he's such a big boy!! We are so happy to have him in our lives.

Fall 2010

Look how sweet this little bean looks!

I've been using this cool thing on Picasa that allows me to make pictures look like they are dated!

If this was really in the past who knows how old Mr. Birch would be by now :)

Latin Teacher’s Birthday and a trip to Hampden Sydney

Latin Teacher is dangerously close to the big 30 and since that is such a big birthday, we planned small and slightly less eventful events for year 29. Because we are going to HSC on Saturday to see the Tigers cream Macon we had a little get together at the PR. Before we went though… we stopped by and saw these sweet little jewels… It was my first date with the little one, and it was fantastic (he slept and looked precious the whole time….)

(- This is Jenn's picture, I should have asked before I stole it... so I can take NO credit for this cuteness.... it is all her and Michael)

At the PR we didn’t get any pictures because I forgot the camera… but it was a great time and I discovered the huge wine list at the PR which makes it my new favorite place to go! No wonder that place is so popular! It has everything a person could want!!

Friday night we went over to one of our friends, Kathy and Steven’s, houses for some bonfire action and beef tips, au gratin potatoes and more wine.

I’m seeing a trend here…

They are the kind of couple Latin Teacher and I strive to be (without the Boston accent, haha)

Turned out it was Kathy’s birthday on Sunday the 14^th so it was a time for celebration. They were sweet enough to watch our little boy Buckley while were touring Virginia on Saturday.

Saturday morning we got up, put on our autumn best, and started driving north to Hampden Sydney, VA. It is a little "town" on the outskirts of Farmville, VA. As Latin Teacher had promised the trees were fantastic and the weather was nothing to scoff at either.

Once we got there we had lunch at the Hitch n' Post. A basic diner at the end of the main road leading into HSC. It was good food, and I know Latin Teacher had lots of memories there.

After getting to campus, we went to the bookstore to refresh our lives with HSC stuff (including a very manly prepped out collar for Buckley) and then made our way to the tailgating field.

(Doesn't he look thrilled? This is how he usually looks about 7:00 in the morning)

We met up with Jenn's (mother-of-the-cuteness-above) family and had a great time at the tailgate. We then went to the game where we added some good luck, and the finished with a big "W" against their rival Randolph Macon.

Go Tigers, Beat Macon!!

Later on our tour of Virginia, we traveled to Colonial Heights, VA where we picked up a dining room set for my aunt and uncle's house and made the way back to Raleigh.

I have been told that Latin Teacher had a great birthday, and I can't help believe him! Less than a year until 30!! AHH!
