Mack's 2nd Birthday
Wow, our little boy is now a two-yr-old! We can't believe it. Mack started off his day with his new favorite word, which is "NO!" So, much to my dismay, he was waking up to the "terrible-two's" the morning of his birthday. After and early nap though, he got it together and had a great time at his party. Ethan's Dad and stepmom came in from NY for the event, along with my Dad from Springfield. We celebrated with a beautiful cake (made by my cousin Diedre) and friends and family. My friend Angela let us borrow the bouncy house, and the swingset from GB and David (for Mack's birthday) turned out to be very popular with kids and parents alike! It was a beautiful day in St. Louis here, in the high 70's, unlike the brutally hot weather we endured last year. Mack loved his cake, and happily indulged in not one, but two pieces! When it was all over, he let me rock him to sleep, an extreme rarity these days. I couldn't help but reflect on the happiest day of my life just two short years ago, and got a little teary. I'm blaming the tears on my pregnancy hormones with baby boy number 2 right now! Anyway, here are some pictures of the weekend! Read more...
