And she’s (almost) three! Weather was great, friends and family are great, and the food stole the show. Seaweed hand rolls for the kids (interactive!) and chili dogs, Cool Ranch Doritos nachos, and lumpia for the adults! I think every kid drank an average of five juice boxes, and each made sure to have cookies and a slice of Chelsea’s chocolate cake. Pre-nap perfection.

Meryl’s still obsessed. And our friend, Tiffany, is super talented. Yup, we went there:)

And fashionable no less!

Another annual block party in the books! This year, Applesauce the pony came to visit and Xanna made it just in time!

“Yes you are!” Setting up for Meryl’s birthday party tomorrow. Frank and I both had a couple of moments today realizing that Meryl is growing up. Has it really been almost three years?

Nine months! And tonight, he graduated to the big bathtub. He’s achieved proficiency in sitting, crawling, grabbing, eating, clapping…and tipping over Lummi’s water bowl. Big month!

Meryl’s putting her creative genius to work with nightly attempts of never going to sleep. Last night’s shenanigans topped the cake, and we still can’t stop laughing about catching her in the hall when she said, “I’m sneaking!”
