Sunday

What a week!  I thought things would start to slow down as we got closer to Bee's birthday.  I couldn't have been more wrong.  Instead of slowing down I've been compelled to tick off everything on my "to-do" list before he gets here.  I blame it on nesting and the fact that sitting in one position for any length of time is painful. 

Wednesday was Elise's birthday.  I cannot believe it's been THREE years since she was born.  Although she is very much a three year old.  I know that anyone who has had a three year old in their house can appreciate what I mean.  There's a lot of drama that accompanies the budding independence of a little person that age.  There's also an overwhelming amount of cuteness which, I'm convinced, is part of nature's plan of self preservation.  All that cute silly sweetness prevents parents from losing their minds and shipping their children 3 class postage to Zanzibar. 

Here is a glimpse at her birthday celebration.  I really need to get better about taking video.  The happiness and joy she expressed over her presents simply cannot be captured by still pictures.  I can't remember the last time she was that excited!
