It feels like I haven't blogged in forever

I drove my mom to the airport this morning. Actually, she should be landing in Kentucky any minute now. Her visit was actually pretty good. The first few days were okay, but the last few days of her trip were great. We all sort of fell into a routine that worked for everyone. So, my mom's visit was a success!

My baby girl turned 3 last weekend, which is just utterly amazing. I feel like I JUST had her. How is she already 3? We threw her a little party on Sunday, and she had a fabulous time. That night we went to a local diner for her birthday dinner. The waitresses sang happy birthday to her, and gave her a bowl of vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. She absolutely LOVED it. She was shrieking and laughing. But shortly after that, the party ended. Porgie started looking a little green around the gills. I told John that we had better leave. We barely made it out the front door when she puked. EVERYWHERE. Poor birthday girl.

I had some professional pictures taken of the kids with grandma. I think my mom really enjoyed this gift. Porgie and grandma were all smiles, but Izzy looked freaked out in every pose. We didn't get any smiles from him. Little weirdo.

Okay, that is enough about my hectic life. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure...

Glad mom visits went well all the way around (ours did too). Porgies party sounds like it was a lot of fun (minus puking of course lol). I can't believe how much older she looks in those pics... just all the sudden!
