Owen's 4th Birthday

Happy, Happy!

We are so proud of our little guy.

For Owen's birthday we planned ahead (relatively speaking) and bought cupcakes the night before for him to take to school. He got to have one for breakfast on the big day!

Zoe's 1st Birthday

Zoe celebrated her first birthday on Friday! Her first year of life absolutely flew by. She spent an awful lot of it perched on my left hip while I went about the business of moving us to Portugal, but she seemed to be quite happy about it. She is a fun little thing, always ready for a big celebration or a big adventure.


For her birthday we gave her a baby doll, and she fell in love with it instantly.

Of course, she had to test it out a little first.


We also celebrated her birthday with a cupcake fest at the mall. (Yes, I realize I don't get full Mommy points for this, but not only is she a 2nd child, she also shares a birthday week with her big brother. We do what we can! And the cupcake fest was fun...)

A lazy Saturday morning

You know how before you have kids, you imagine that having them might involve lazy weekend mornings snuggling together in bed? But then it turns out that it doesn't? Well, today it did! And it was nice.
