We celebrated Adelyn's birthday (7-6-06) on the 4th of July with family. We decorated while she napped then surprised her by letting her take a taste of the icing before everyone arrived. She was so excited to see the colorful streamers and couldn't wait to wear her birthday hat. Tasting the icing was a big hit too, especially after blowing out her candles then getting to "sample" the icing again. We tried to prepare her for this special day by singing to her and quizzing her about her age. She would happily say "two" as she arranged her little fingers to show her new age. We decided that in addition to her big 2 birthday candle, we would also place a "one" on the cake as well, in remembrance of her first birthday that passed as we waited for her.
Just to catch up since summer is flying by for us, we celebrated Father's Day by making some special gifts for Daddy then spending the day at Bernheim Forest. It was a beautiful day; we rode bikes, visited with the geese, ate and just enjoyed being a family.
