Our Nephew, Nikolaus, turned one earlier this month. So hard to believe! My mom wanted to get pictures of all her grandkids together, so we headed down to San Marcos to see Laura at The Smile House. Nikolaus got the infamous cake picture taken. Isn’t it cute? The kids were actually pretty good for this session. I was impressed.
Afterwards we all went to eat lunch at Tres Hermanas Restaurant. It was only like 2 blocks from The Smile House, but Nikolaus fell asleep in the car. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that my sister was able to get him out of the car seat, bring him into the restaurant, set him in a wooden highchair and he slept! Unbelievable.
The kids were really good at lunch too. They didn’t eat much since they had doughnuts and kolaches at Laura’s so I was worried they’d be hard to handle in the restaurant. But they were great. On the way into the restaurant the kids asked why there was money in the fountain out front. I explained that people made wishes there.
On the way out, since they had been so good, I gave them each a penny to drop in and make a wish. Of course William’s first instinct was to wish for money. I told him that was against the rules. Then he decided to wish that the whole family will love the whole family forever. Katie wished the same thing. Awwwww.
Are they anglin’ for something? Or did I just get really lucky that day? :-)

That’s precious! A wonderful wish and one worthy of working towards day by day!
Love you all — can’t wait to see the pictures!
Love,
