Happy Birthday Baby

The past month and a half have been a blur. The start of our homeschooling adventure has been filled with excitement, frustration, challenge and success. It has been all-consuming, which has left no time for this blog. I'm finally coming up for air and plan to start a series of posts that will give you an up-close look into what homeschooling is... in our family.

But, for now, we're backtracking. Because my baby turned two a couple of weeks into the school year. And that is something worth documenting!

Gabe & big sis helping to make his favorite treat, cookies. Love that the shot captured his miscalculation.


present opening... playdough and tools from big brothers

candy from Daddy...that was a hit


a snuggly kitty from big sister


this cake may be a bit ug, but it was all he talked about for weeks afterwards...his "choo choo bir-day"


and a little candle-licking

Thanks for all the happiness & joy you bring us, angel boy. We love you!! (But PLEASE stop growing so fast.)
