Second Birthday!

James turned two on April 19, an event celebrated around the world and in our own home. The cake featured "Scoop" from Bob the Builder.

James was a blur all morning, running from room to room eating pretzels, strawberries, grapes, goldfish and anything else he could get his hands on. By the time we got to the cake he was so stuffed he blew chunks all over the floor. Of course, he carried on happily as if nothing had happened. And Louis ate the vomit. Good doggie.

Making sand castles

Of course, smashing them seemed to be the big hit.

Cousin Jack's visit

We spent a lovely afternoon visiting with Andrew, Andrea and Jack, James's older cousin by 6 months. They even shared shovels and trucks!

Rain boots rock!
