Mark's 2nd Birthday Party

Mark celebrated his 2nd birthday at Gymboree with friends and family. A nasty cold ripped through our house over the past few weeks and Mark was coming off his turn the weekend of the party. So, the poor thing was a little worn out and cranky at first but he rallied for a strong and happy finish with lots of pizza, cupcakes and presents. I can't believe that Mark is two years old now. He is coming in to his own more and more these days. He is strong and sweet all at the same time. We love you Mark. Happy Birthday, my love. Wishing you a lifetime of happy and healthy birthdays!

The Nutcracker

Mimi, Grandma, Emily and I went to see the Nutcracker about a week ago. Emily was so excited about it and had been looking forward to it for weeks. Here are some pictures of our first annual Nutcracker Ballet trip.

Mark had his birthday party at Gymboree on Sunday. I got a few pics with my iPhone but will do his official birthday post with real pictures next. In the meantime, here is a pic of him enjoying a birthday cupcake.

Thanksgiving Program & Blog Hosting Update

Mark and Emily's school held their Thanksgiving Program a few weeks ago. Caroline shot the video below to document the kid's first combined on-stage performance. Enjoy the show!

Also this week we have changed hosting providers for the blog. As a result you may have had or may continue to have some troubles loading the website. Most often this will result in getting a page not found error. This is a result of requests having to be routed to a new server. We're hoping that by the end of the week all of that will be resolved and you won't have any trouble loading the blog. If you run into the issue try refreshing the page or send me an email if you have any issues.

Getting Ready for Christmas

So, I know we still need to post the video of the Thanksgiving program and also all the farm pictures, but I haven't had a chance to get all the footage downloaded yet. I should have just taken the videos with my iPhone!

We put up the tree!
