Nathan turned two this month, and we celebrated his birthday last Sunday. He had a Winnie-the-Pooh cake, with Tigger and Piglet on board as well. Mommy had Pooh plates, cups and tablecloth, in addition to the balloons and streamers that filled the room. The cake was chocolate, with whipped icing, and we also had ice cream and lime
sherbert punch. Nathan enjoyed the attention, and "blew" out his candle with his roll-up party favor. (It took a few whacks, including one that knocked Tigger over, but he finally nailed the candle before it caught the party favor on fire!) Some photo selections are attached...
On the baby front, "John" is scheduled to be extracted in less than two weeks. Should we then celebrate "extraction day" for C-section babies, instead of "birthdays"? By the way, we're 99% sure our new addition will be named "Evan". "Evan" means "God/YAHWEH is gracious", or "young warrior", or "well-born", depending on the search source. Having used a family name of mine, "Allen" as Nathan's middle, we plan to use a family name of Laura's, "Lee", as Evan's middle. "Lee" means, "meadow", or "sheltered from the storm", or "poet", depending on the source.
Meanwhile, Nathan is getting ready to share toys and dreams, point out stars and fans, and introduce Evan to the simple pleasure of balloons!
