Miss Face Turns 2!

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old. She stopped with the silent treatment and is now talking up a storm. I'm not really into the giant, expensive party for a 2 year old, so we decided on the theme of the Hungry Caterpillar. KodakGallery.com invites and a few stickers ordered from the Eric Carle museum,$25 supermarket cake (I was going to make cupcakes, but the guest list that topped 30 made me think twice!), and homemade decorations using paper plates (painted Eric Carle style... of course I didn't get a picture of the finished product!) and a few store-bought balloons.
It went over really well (it's easy to impress a bunch of toddlers), was cost effective, and was really memorable. I'm already thinking ahead to next year. I wonder if she'll still be into Nemo!

The Last Few Months.

I'm so bad at blogging. I'm much better at Facebook. But not all my friends (AHEM, MF!), are members, so I feel a need to update this every so often. It's been a busy few months. Summer in New England is terrific. Perhaps I say this because we only got a few truly hot and humid days. What did we do this summer?

We did a lot of blueberry and peach picking.

We saw some baseball.

We had unthinkably awesome seats at the Jimmy Buffett concert.

We visited the aquarium and the public garden.

I went on a girls weekend to NYC.

We spent some time in the pool.

All in all, a fantastic summer... but nothing beats New England in the Autumn. As we celebrate our first year here I love it more and more!
