Family Trip & Father's Day

It's been an eventful couple of weeks in the Schuerman household. Danny had to go to Atlanta for business and Cadence and I were lucky enough to tag along! While Danny worked Wed. - Fri., Cadence and I were able to spend some time with friends and family. Even though Cadence was a little fussy, we had a great time! We're chalking her fussiness up to being tired and out of her routine. We felt horrible because she's also going through this stranger anxiety phase and didn't want anyone to really hold her! She drank a bottle during takeoff and she watched a Sesame Street DVD on the flight down (thanks Sara!). She did pretty well!

Cadence must not have been bothering the lady next to me since she ended up snoozing...

Cadence and I were able to visit with my friend Ashley from high school and her cutie pie son Parker! They were so cute together...I wish we could see them more often!

Cadence loved my cousins Michelle and Melanie...and had a blast with the dogs!

First time in a pool! She liked it, but wasn't a huge fan of the sun! Oh yeah, that and the fact that her Mommy got sunscreen in her eyes!

Cadence's Great-Grandma DeNomme -- I'm glad she at least got to hold her once while we were there!

She thought my Uncle Mike was a riot!

We were able to celebrate my cousin Melissa's birthday with her!

Here is Cadence with my cousin Lindsey's adorable daughter Olivia! Olivia is 6 weeks younger than Cadence and was running circles around her!

Of course Cadence loved their dog too!

After a 4 hour delay at the Atlanta airport, we were on our way back to Columbus! Luckily the person in the seat next to us never showed up! Here is Cadence learning what to do in case of an emergency :)

Out for breakfast for Father's Day with Cadence's Grandma and Poppa Iacobucci

Cadence is ONE!

Hard to believe our baby girl is one year old! Over the past couple of days, Danny and I have reminded each other of what we were doing this time last year. At times it feels like it was just yesterday...other times if feels like it was such a long time ago when we were sitting in the NICU worrying about our new baby. We love the age that Cadence is now -- we can't even count how many times she makes us laugh each day. Everyone is "Daddy", every animal is "Puppy" and she still LOVES Sesame Street. Just about anything she can put up to her ear is a phone; we think she'll be a social butterfly.

We celebrated Cadence's birthday at a nearby park. The picnic area wasn't available to reserve, so Danny arrived early in the morning since the area is a first come, first served type of deal. He even decorated the spot for his little girl. Even though it was a humid and hot June afternoon, it was nice to spend time with family and grill out. Cadence received some adorable clothes and pretty cool toys! Thanks to everyone who could attend and make Cadence's day even more special.
