Going away party

Last night some of my closest friends threw me a going away party. It was very bittersweet, but thankfully I was able to keep my composure and have a great time. My friend Kori made this beautiful takeout box cake. I was so amazed when I came in and saw this.

I am going to miss all the friends I have made in Toledo, but look forward to coming back in 2 years and picking up where we left off! It will be so crazy to see how much all of our kids will have changed in this time. I don't know what I would have done without my FAB 5 friends pictured below, we had some fun times and I am going to miss our Little Caesars playdates more than you know.

Yo Gabba Gabba

First off Melanie Wallis I know you will be reading this post laughing because I know how much you love this show!!

Now on to the show...

Brycen loves this show...the music, the dancing, Biz's Beat of the day and the cool tricks. It was Les's idea to get tickets and we were on the 3rd row. You can't really tell from the look on Brycens face, but I think he did have a good time. He was pretty much in awe as he is only used to seeing them on tv and this was his first live performance. I kept telling him to smile for the pictures, but what you see is what you get:)

Terrible 2 1/2's

There is so much going on in our house that there is no way to know whether we are experiencing the Terrible Two's or just acting out due to change. Boy are we experiencing change.
There has been so much talk around our house about China, that daily Brycen will come up to me with a toy or book and say "Can we take this to China"...how cute/sad is that. Sad that he really doesn't know what China is.
Lately when I leave him at Mothers Center or preschool or even when I take him to get his haircut he screams, cries and even kicks. And did I mention the whining. Oh how I hate the whining. I am beside myself and not used to this acting out.
There is a lot more change left to come and so we too shall get through this:)
