Daddy Time

The main reason we moved - so Max could have more Daddy time! It's definately worth it.

Birthday Party Recap

Max had a mostly great birthday! We had a yummy dinner of strawberry spinach salad, grilled chicken and baked potatoes and of course cake and ice cream for dessert - but I forgot to take any pics of the cake! I was hoping Max would dig into his cake with abandon, but instead he carefully got all the frosting off with his hands and then licked his fingers. As usual, he enjoyed all the attention being on him. Later he had his first bowl of ice cream ever. He loved all the junk food, but we paid for it later! He was up 1/2 the night, my guess is he had a tummy ache. I later thought about it and realized he probably had the adult equivalent of a whole tub of frosting and a 1/2 gallon of ice cream for his little body. That's enough to make anyone sick.
He got lots of fun toys and our house was pretty well put together after moving two days earlier. It was a special time with family and a few friends. Check out the rest of the pictures here.
