Happy 2nd Birthday Bradybug

Can you believe Bradyn is already 2 years old? Two. Me - the mom of a TWO year old. Where has the time gone? As I was driving to work on Wednesday morning, I looked at the clock and thought "Two years ago right this minute, I was lying on an operating table, waiting to meet our baby, anxious to know if it would be a boy or a girl." Well, I can tell you that there is definitely no doubt about it these days - she's definitely a girl, and she's definitely got my genes (damn that stubbornness).

What a busy two years it has been! Although the time has flown by, we sure managed to jam a lot of memories into it, and I hope you have all enjoyed coming along on the ride with us.

Bradyn and I made a last-minute, quickly planned trip to London last week to surprise Aunt Sherri for her birthday (and boy, was she surprised!). Not only did we squeak that last free flight for Bradyn in under the wire, but while there, we had a wonderful little party for Brady's birthday. She was so excited. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, and have not yet gotten a copy of Aunt Sherri & Uncle Jason's pictures (hint, hint....), so I'll post some of those later.

However, for your viewing pleasure, I do have these pictures from her actual birthday-day celebration.

Notice the Black & Decker mixmaster box in this picture.... another great gift from Daddy. Not only did Bradyn love it, but Mommy is very excited that she'll have another person cooking for her very soon.

"I'll take that"

"I sure do like cake!"

Trust me - it all disappeared.

Happy Birthday sweetheart - I hope you had a wonderful day.
