Last Sunday we went apple picking with our friends at a great little orchard in Freehold, NJ.

A big shout out goes to our good friend Mike Kantrowitz who took many of the photos that weekend (mostly the good ones). He has enough camera equipment to make Ansel Adams feel inadequate. The rest of the photos can be seen by clicking here.

It was a beautiful day and we managed to pick a lot of apples. Even scored a 16lb pumpkin to carve for Halloween (for a future post).

Chloe got a little confused about what she was suppose to be picking.

This video basically speaks for itself…

I decided to compile a small video for Chloe’s birthday that incorporates a few select photos and video footage (among the thousands taken over the course of the year) with some important words of advice.

We celebrated by spending the day at FAO Schwarz. We’re not exactly sure if that’s what Chloe wanted to do but we figured – a lot of colorful stuffed animals under one roof – you can’t go wrong. Sure enough she seemed to really enjoy it and…added bonus for Mummy and Daddy…Chloe was no more excited about all the expensive toys than she was with a bag of candy (for us, not her) so she’s also a cheap date!

Hard to believe it’s already been one year! Although it feels like the year’s flown by, Elana and I have been trying to remember what life was like pre-Chloe and we actually find it quite difficult to recall! Did we really sleep in until 10am most weekends? Did we actually leave the house with nothing but keys and a wallet? As much as our lives have been turned upside down with this cute little dependent package, we wouldn’t have it (and can’t remember it) any other way!

Happy Birthday little bean.

Love, Mummy and Daddy

P.S. Can you promise to always enjoy items for your birthday that cost less than 2 bucks?
