Naomi has been making the coolest drawings lately.

Here's an example of one of my favorites:

Naomi turns 2!

We had a very low key celebration for Naomi's birthday this year and she didn't mind one bit. The moment she woke up, she saw the sign Danny made for her and it was on! She was so excited, pointing out all the letters to us and watching Danny blow up the balloons seriously blew her mind. It's amazing how happy a three dollar bag of balloons can make this girl. I wonder how long we can milk this sort of birthday party, pretty soon she'll be demanding pony rides and jump castles.

Here's a shot of Naomi's birthday cake! I know, I know, I'm probably the lamest mom ever...does a pancake count as birthday cake? At least I put sprinkles on it and check out the video, she totally loved it!

After swimming, the girls chilled out with a good book and some Latin rhythms...

Perfect for flying a kite!

Naomi was more interested in the case that the kite came in.
At least Dad had fun.
