Lindsay is 1 in Kansas City

Lindsay and I actually flew back to the USA on her first birthday!!! Grandmother accompanied us as far as Texas, and all of the flights went well. All of Lindsay's KC cousins came over that Thursday evening - even though we arrived very late (and past my one year old's bedtime). They brought balloons - Lindsay's favorite - and we just chatted for a bit.

On Saturday the 22nd of July we had her big party. I made a sandcastle cake, complete with BVI and US flags (thanks cousin Katie), and 21 BVI shells for Lindsay being one year old on the 20th of July!!! It was a lot of fun - and you'll notice now in pictures that Lindsay is not near so sweaty!!!!! Central air-conditioning again - thank goodness!!!!
