It’s been a long time (5 months!) since I last posted on here. Since Christmas we have been extremely busy with settling into a new home and a two year old boy that constantly keeps us on our toes. Jennifer and I couldn’t be happier with the new house and neighborhood. On to more important topics, our tiny, infant, little, can’t even eat solid foods, baby is turning two! Since when did we have a toddler? Babycenter.com has changed the title of their weekly emails from “Your Infant at X Months” to “Your Preschooler at X Years.” This can’t be right, he still needs to be burped, right?
Well, after we got over the shock Jennifer went into massive party planning mode. She has turned into quite the party hostess and I’m amazed by her creativity. We went with a train themed party and our house was decked out in train decore. We had a trackless train for the kiddos, which made one lap in the backyard and then gave train rides out in the cul-de-sac. The kids LOVED the train! We had train signs made by Jennifer’s dad, train cupcakes, popcorn, and, the cakes of all cakes, a personally made train cake. This cake almost never happened, but Jennifer and I had such a goofy, fun time making it that I think all of its imperfections made it more charming.
Another special part of Jacob’s party is that my dad came out from San Antonio to spend time with us. We went to the railroad museum to get Jacob in the train spirit. Jacob loved seeing his grandpa and they were inseparable the entire time grandpa was here.
Here are the pictures from my dad’s visit and JD’s party.
