The twins are TWO - Happy Birthday!!

Two years old! Wow can you believe it. What's happening now that they are 2? Luke is calling Amanda "Amanda" instead of "dada" He says it with a bit of a European (or maybe even Latino) accent. Amanda is still very interested in the smoke detectors (shikobah) and this interest was augmented into fear when they had a fire drill (three in one day actually) at daycare. She was upset (even traumatizes?) about it for probably a week, but now I think we are getting past that.

Speaking of daycare, we had a little party there last Thursday - Grandma and Grandpa even came! Then on Sunday we had a family/friends gathering chez nous which was great! Here are a few pictures and videos from Bday party at our house - most provided by mom!

Our gymnast!



Opening some gifts


And. . .drum roll please. . .the CAKES! Yes, it is Doggy and Teddy!!! Wouldn't believe the amount of awe these created by kids, parents, and friends! I brought some pictures in to their classroom and teachers and other kids parents are ready to hire mom!





After the party was over, and after baths and wind down, the kids wanted to see the doggy and teddy cakes again. Here is a great video taken with my Samsung SGH i550 phone (yes, that was a bit of a pitch :))
