Pre-birthday celebration

The Wiseguys in Hartville had a little celebration for me last night. Since it was a month before my birthday and they wouldn't be able to come celebrate with me, they threw a little soirree just for me!

It had this really neat ice cream cake which I liked a lot. Here's a video of me blowing out the candle (yes, I'm gonna be 2, but there was just 1 overly large candle to save space).

July 4th

We had a fun weekend for the 4th. The weather was great and we picked up Grandma and drove up to Tom & Mary Lou Connelly's to celebrate. The Knight family drove down from Virginia so I got to see my cousins Miles, Maisy and Olivia too.

Grandma said Grandpa (I call him Papa now) drove up earlier to start prepping the fireworks display, it's become a specialty of his.

Click the link below (or just go to my Pictures link on the right) for some photos from the afternoon. Including fireworks! I wasn't real sure what to think at first, but Papa did a great job with them, so I kept saying "Yay, Papa!"

It was real late after the fireworks, so we drove home and I was sacked out and slept in real late Sunday.

Even then I was still a little groggy this morning and I accidentally gashed Daddy's head with my teeth while playing around - sorry Daddy!

Sunday evening, Mommy left us to go to a 2-day conference in Durham...bye bye Mommy, we'll see you Tuesday!

This past week

Happy day-after Birthday to my cousin Luke, he turned 3 yesterday! Yay Luke!

Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy took a mini-vacation and I got to stay with the Connelly's. They put up this really neat pool but I wasn't so keen to play in it. Pools in general....just not my thing right now.

I'm good with the bath in our house, but not really anywhere else.

Bubbles though are a different story. Give me bubbles and I'm a giggly little dude for hours.

Just remember: what happens at Grandma and Grandpa's, stays at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Oh hey, just before last weekend, Mommy gave me one of her French horn mouthpieces and I was able to buzz through it - that made her day.

We tried a baritone mouthpiece too, but that's a little difficult, though I did conk myself in the head with it. Who knew it'd be so painful? Ouch!

She got a video of it I think, so we'll try to get that posted soon.

But um, I may have broken their camera, but it's their fault for letting me play with it, right? Am I right???

Anyhoo.

I'll close tonight with some exciting news - the photos from our Mother's Day session at the Light Factory's 2009 Shoot Out fundraiser are ready for you all.

Just click on the Pictures link on the right side here and then click on the "2009 Pictures" button on the page that pops up. There's 2 albums of good stuff. The first was by this great photographer who was approximating a photo booth. The second set is from a different photographer (his name was Jeff, how cool is that?!?!).

Enjoy!
