Happy Birthday!!

It's hard to believe that Audrey was born a little more than two years ago. Like our parents always said, the time has just flown by. We spent last Thursday celebrating as a family, and last Saturday having a big party for Audrey, our family, and some of her friends. Although it must have been confusing for her, because we spent all week hyping up her birthday, then when it came time for her actual party, we had to explain to her that it was actually Mommy's birthday that day too. I don't think she really believed us, but since we were all in the mood to celebrate regardless, it didn't much matter anyway. And we're sure she'll figure it out eventually.

Despite our requests for no gifts, she was showered with love from her insubordinate friends and family. And after spending all day Sunday cleaning out 1/3 of the house in preparation for listing it (we just bought a new place in Fairfax), we have plenty of space for the new stuff. Favorite gifts so far: the bike that Mommy and Daddy gave her, the toy hamster from her friend Maya (which really is awesome), and a toy weedwacker from Aunt Nikki and Uncle Bugs. But she really loved everything, and was full of "oohs", "aahs", and "oh, wows" while she opened the gifts.
