From Ferrell to Farrell
My mom is a godmother. She acts mostly like a regular mother, however, on some occassions, she does indeed resemble a godmother as well. Today was one of those days. Ironically enough (or not) the Farrells (from our church) chose her to be the godmother of the newest member in their family, Gretchen.
It was Gretchen’s first birthday today so the Farrells and the Ferrells and everyone in between had plenty of reason to celebrate. There was laughing and dancing and toy trains and forts and fake kitchens and messes and everything else that kids do best. Always a good time 
Here’s Gretchen doing her best to get the cake in her mouth.
And this is Liam. After pummeling the mats mercilessly for about half an hour, I stood them up so he had a fort. He insisted that no fort would ever be complete without a door (or, in his words “door!”) so I made sure they opened up on one side and he was quite relieved.
