Our fabulous birthday weekend!

Owen's actual birthday was on Saturday and mine was on Sunday. We had a great time celebrating the birthday filled weekend as a family. We talked all day about where we were at this time last year. It is hard to believe that Owen has only been in our lives for a year. We love our little man and wanted to do something fun this weekend so we planned to go hiking at Red River Gorge on Saturday but the forecast called for rain, so sadly we decided not to go.

Anyways it turned out to be a beautiful day after we had already decided not to go. So we took a long drive through the beautiful countryside to Windy Corner cafe.

This little place has delicious southern cooking and is surrounded by the beautiful horse country. Owen loved eating barbecue and exploring on the property after lunch.

Then we passed by this little winery on the way home and stopped for some wine flights. Owen loved running around outside and checking out the grape vines while playing on the grounds.

We made it home for Owen's afternoon nap, but not before we got our last monthly photo in. It is much more difficult to get a good picture of a 12 month old. Bribing with food always works!

He looks enormous in this picture. At the end of the night we stopped by Oktoberfest at West Sixth Brewery. Owen met a friend to steal a ball from, I mean to play ball with.

Owen also enjoyed watching the hilarious dancers that stopped by for the bike prom. We have to participate in this sometime.
Sunday we celebrated my birthday by going to one of my alltime favorite restaurants in Lexington, Sal's. We got a babysitter so we were able to go without a wiggling child. We had a lovely dinner filled with adult conversation!

  1. What a nice weekend! I wondered on Saturday (after there was NO rain) what you guys had decided to do. We love Windy Corner and go there all the time!!
