...is the process by which we create, discover, learn and grow with those we cherish most.

vrooom.... already 2!

Early to rise, our birthday boy woke up bashful as I sang "happy birthday" to him. We unveiled his gift and he let out a big "wo-----ow" from his multiplying vocabulary - and then zoomed his cars and trains across the tracks until it was time for him to go get his haircut. Planning a special occasion amidst busy schedules was a daunting task - but in a day, we were able to pull it together and call upon family and friends to come help us celebrate...

We struck gold with a carnival theme... making favors out of old fashioned favorites like cotton candy and fun trinkets. We had ice-cream cake and spent the afternoon showering the front lawn with our laughter - playing games, bouncing, running, and swinging at a flying pinata...

As the evening settled in, so did the kids. Humzah, Sophia and Ava headed indoors for bathtime - but not Noah. He refused to go in before the sun fell off the horizon, and instead, rolled on the lawn all by himself, with his new cars gripped under his palms - soaking his day in - and having the time of his life... turning 2!

  1. I am so proud of our little man.
    The big 'Oh Two'!

    Tomorrow..... he'll be asking to borrow my razor.

    Part of me wishes he'll stay 2 forever, and the other part of me can't wait to spend time with my grown up son talking about grown up things. But for now... trains, cars, and dinosaurs will do. And they do fine!

  3. Thanks for visiting the site turnitupmom! The favors are one of my favorite challenges at birthdays/special occasions... like at Noah's welcome home party when he was born... we handmade boats made out of brown cardstock, stuck a "sail" with his birth info, and filled the boat with blue pastel jordan almonds... :)anyway, the popcorn box repurposed here seemed like the ideal container for the "theme" - thanks so much for noticing :)

    Now... onto actually printing some of these wonderful memories to an "actual" album [gasp!]
