Pickle Turns 2

Today we celebrated Elise's 2nd birthday (which is on May 17th). She loves animals and Dora the Explorer- her party was both!! Tricia hired a petting zoo to come to her house and the kids were in HOG heaven. The owners of the company were fantastic and loved their animals so much (they were their pets)- you could tell. The kids got to get inside the pen with the animals, pick them up, feed them and just love on them.

A Big Girl Now

Look at this beautiful young girl!! "Pickle" is almost 21 months old. Her sweet personality is coming out along with her determination, coyness, sense of humor and girlish ways!! I love this girl so much and feel so blessed that I get to be a part of her life!!
Oh, and did I mention how much she is talking? WOW!! She is a parrot!

Happy 1st Birthday Pickle

Today is my favorite red- haired baby's birthday. Yesterday we went to her pickle party and had so much fun. Although it was cold, the big kids still went swimming. We played fun pickle games and ate a delicious cake (a la Tricia!!). I can't wait till she can walk and talk!! We have enjoyed sharing this first year with her and look forward to many more!!

Side Note: AToday is extra special because my other favorite "red" head shares the same birthday. Today was my wonderful Mommy's birthday. She is 73 and looks 15 years younger. She is my best friend and I love her so much!!
