Belated Birthday!



Since our last entry Eliza celebrated her second birthday, grew two new teeth, traveled to Texas twice and the mountains once, learned to run, started Mandarin class, and grew another inch. There is so much more, but I realize it is much less interesting to you all than it is to Kyle and myself...we are slightly over the moon, you know.

Eliza's birthday outfit was hand crafted by her late great-grandmother, "Nana". What a wonderful way to celebrate Nana's gifts as a seamstress and Eliza's bug themed birthday.

The guests sported antennae, ate ladybug and bumblebee cake, and helped us release 1750 live ladybugs.

The highlight of the event was releasing the lady bugs into the yard. Everyone seemed to be pretty thrilled by all the orange critters.


Eliza seemed to enjoy the party, but the truth was expressed quite clearly during the night when we heard her cry from her slumber "NO BUGS!" I guess we'll have to rethink recycling birthday party themes.
