It's been 2 years? Really?

Well, it's official. I now have a two year old. As of last weekend, I have a two year old. We had a little birthday party with the grandmas and the grandpas (since the living room is only so big). It was a lot of fun. Crae wasn't exactly sure what was really going on, but he liked being the center of attention and opening presents.

I made Elmo cupcakes. Well, I tried to make Elmo cupcakes. At least they tasted good. And no matter what McCormick says, you can't make frosting red. A really pretty bright pink, but not red. You can't die from too much food coloring, can you?

Presents! Whoever came up with the idea of this monkey backpack leash is a genius! Love it. Can't wait to use it!

It was a fun day. Happy birthday, bud!

Hats off to you, Honey!

I must make a small tribute to my husband. He has bitten off a little more than he can chew for school this semster in order to get everything finished up and be able to graduate next winter (while he still defers this summer to work). He has been working so hard ever since school started - late nights, early mornings, and even weekends too. When he is able to come home, he greets a crazy house, crazy children, and their crazy mother who is about ready to have a nervous breakdown at any given moment. And then he usually has to study some more. I don't know how he is still doing it (it's been a little over a month now). On top of all that, he finds to the time to fulfill his church calling, have a little fun, and help keep us all happy. He is such a stud and I love him so much! That's why I'm taking a little time to say - Hats off to you, honey! You're the best! I love you.
