Birthday Pictures

I'm sure there are still pictures on the little camera, but these are the ones off the big camera.

This is the cake that I was going to make for Sofia's party, that never was. I made this the weekend before as a test cake, to make sure I had everything I would need.


Opening presents, with a little help from Mimi. Notice the boots and the shorts and the Clemson jersey. Papa bought her these boots and she loved them! Wouldn't take them off.




She had to have every single clip put into her hair before she'd move on to the next present.






And here is the actual cake I made. We'll do Mickey Mouse another time.


Of course she prefered the icing.


And this is what I found this morning when I woke up. I have no idea what time she got up but I guess she eventually got bored and fell back asleep on the sofa.

Happy 2nd Birthday Sofie!

It's hard to believe that this

Has turned into this beautiful young lady.


The above picture is about a month old. I will post new ones soon. Most are still on the camera.

We had a birthday party planned for Sofie this past weekend, but she would have none of that. She came home from daycare Friday afternoon with a fever of 103! Thankfully, I was able to rush her to the pediatrician's office before they closed for the weekend. She was still on antibiotics for a sinus infection she had been fighting the previous week, so they were a little concerned. She showed no signs of the flu, nor any other known illness. Just a random virus. We canceled her party just in case, because we didn't know what she had and didn't want to pass it on to other kids.

Mimi and Papa were already here when she got sick, so we at least got to visit with them. We opened presents on Saturday and had a bite of cake (all still on the camera).

Tonight we are going to Jumping Jack Sports with a friend to celebrate. I'll be sure to post pictures soon!

They're finally married!

We went to NC this weekend for Chris and Caroline's wedding. We rented a nice log cabin with Scott, the Donaghay's (Melissa, Sean, and Thomas...however I don't have any pictures of Thomas), and the Moreland's (Beth, Jeff, and Elaina).

We got there kinda late the first night and rushed Sofie to get a clean diaper and put her PJ's on. She started crying for Elaina. It was so cute. Both girls had been anticipating spending the weekend together and couldn't talk about anything but the other one. Here are Thing 1 and Thing 2 eating Mac N Cheese.

A group shot of most of the Clemson Crew in attendance. Of course, the groom is missing, and so are two husbands (Marc is behind the camera....but where is Jeff???).

Sorry I've been MIA lately. We haven't done too much exciting stuff. Pretty ordinary around here. But if ordinary means no broken legs, I'm all for it!

We did however find Sport Bounce! And Sofie (read Mommy) loves to go. It's $6 for Sofie to get in (although it will be $10 after her birthday), and parents get to bounce free! Open bounce is Thursday nights and we went 2 weeks in a row.

Sorry this one is on it's side.




This one is Sofie's favorite. That's an obstacle course in the middle (split in two), once you reach the back, you climb a ladder and go down the slide on the outside.


And they have a small room of toddler toys for the younger kids. It's hard work bouncing the whole time.


Last weekend we watched our friend's daughter so she could go to the Redskins/Pats game. Since most of our toys are geared toward a 2 year old, we brought out the video games. Sofie even had fun playing on the Wii Fit.


Then Saturday morning, Sofie stole Lolly's PSP while Lolly was still sleeping.


Other than that, working and running (I intend to update over there tonight too). Running 16 miles kinda wears you out. So do 4am wake up calls. I'm lucky if I'm still up at 9:30 every night!

We have a fun weekend planned in the NC mountains. Hopefully, I'll have more pictures and updates after the weekend.
