My Katie is 2, Wow!

My Katie is growing up! 2 years old. Wow! She has entered toddler realm full steam! First Sunday she didn't run to me when I came to her Sunday School class. She said "hi, daddy", and continued playing. Not sure Daddy is ready for that yet!LOL!

We had a quiet family birthday supper, we opened presents. She loved spending time with each gift, rather than running on to the next one, that was nice, did make for a long time of gift opening(not that there was that many gifts, she just enjoyed each one! Mommy made a chocolate cake in a "K" shape, which was enjoyed. Julia wanted some but she will just have to wait until she is one!

Next weekend is the big bash with friends and family, Doodlebop theme. I was excited that I found some party stuff in that theme. Should be fun!
Got this in an email, it has some truth to it!

Some Julia time...

Cara and Katie are still battling a cold, so I decided to take Julia to church myself today. So I strapped her into the Snugglie and away we went. I was teaching the grade 1-4 and had a magic trick to share with them also.Needless to say I never practiced storytelling or this trick with a baby strapped to me, but it still went okay thankfully.

She napped part way through. :)

We then made it into church for the service, but missed the sermon as she started getting a bit too vocal... it was sure nice to spend some one on one time with her, I am missing that, so today was a nice blessing.
