Two years have flown on by.  She is becoming so much more big girl and less baby.   Celebrating with family and friends, and of course a pink butterfly cake.  Presents of crayons, baby dolls, and her own Fiona-sized baby carrier to wear them in.

Look at these guys.  Adorable.  They're getting along great, too!

Birthday Bash

This year was Trevor's turn for a birthday party with his friends.  Since he hasn't had one since he was three (yeah, I know, that hardly counts), I wanted to make it really special.  He picked a paint-your-own-pottery place as the spot for his party.  I thought that was a huge improvement over his first idea of you-know-where (you know, the place with the pizza and the arcade and the giant mouse?).  So when he mentioned this, I ran with it.  Invitations shaped like paint palettes, rainbow cupcakes and pretzel  party favors dipped in chocolate to look like paint brushes.  Everyone had a great time.  Trevor came up to me at home that night and said, "Mom, thanks so much for my party.  It was really great."

Awwww.

Anytime, Honey.  Happy 9th!

Together

We are giddy with joy.  We are exhausted from all the anticipation.  We are still adjusting to being whole again.  But we are looking forward to time with more cuddles, more eskimo kisses and just a little more "mommy time." See you again soon!
