Wow, if you can believe it, our kids turned 2 last Sunday. I can't believe it myself. It seems like just yesterday that I was confined to a bed and that room in the hospital.
We had a small party here at home on the weekend. Grandma and Chloe(the dog) came from SouthBend. Nana and Papa came from Exeter and were able to bring Taya with them. Everyone arrived on Friday night. We had some Jets pizza for supper. Pizza is one of the kids favorite meals. If only you could hear Reid saying "PIZZA" you'd understand the pleasure he gets from it. He loves it.
On Sat we ventured out to a couple of parks with the kids. This is Reid going down one of the slides. He looks like such a big kid here. No more baby at all. 
Elsie in the backyard. She likes to walk along the bricks around the flower beds like they are a balance beam.
Here are the 4 of us. Elsie looks a little scared in this picture. I don't know if she knew what was going on. The cookie monster and Elmo cakes were made by Nana. Thank you so much. I know the kids loved them!!!! We also had some Elmo cupcakes that Taya helped Nana make.
Blowing out the candles.
Admiring the Thomas the train set that Reid got from Aunt Lisa, Uncle Denny, Zak and Ally. (friends of mommy's)
Finally the next morning Daddy set up the train. They LOVE it.
As you can see they absolutely love the train. It has to be hidden completely or all I hear all day long is a little boy forlornly(is that the correct word??)saying "choo choo" In this pic they were touching it and making it stop. They were giggling sooo hard.
On Sunday morning we wanted to go to the Toledo Zoo and take Taya. Well it was pouring rain in the morning, so we decided not to go. We went to the local petting farm instead. Here are Elsie and Taya with the rabbit that hops around the lobby.
After the barn you have to wear off some energy. Running, running, running. A favorite thing to do these days.
There is a small pond that has some big gold fish and painted turtles.
On Monday we went for our 2 yr checkup. Everything was fine. They had one shot each and had their hearing tested. No problems at all. Hopefully we won't have to return until our 3 yr check next year. We will be hoping for healthy ears for Elsie. No ear infections this year.

Happy birthday big kids!
So cute! Glad they had a good b-day! They do look like they're getting so big. I love Elsie's ponytails and that picture of them laughing at the train is precious! We also have a train obsession in our house too: Brynn! If she spots one, I also hear endless "choo-choo"'s!!
What a fantastic b/day weekend! Love the cakes, nana did an awesome job!
Nana did an amazing job on those cakes and you look fabulous hon. Did you get your hair done? It looks great.
I cannot believe that all of our kids are turning 2. Where has the last few years gone since we all met on-line pregnant.
