Pictures from the party



Nothing like a balloon fight to cheer everyone up!




Flanked by her current favorites, Charlie and Josephine.



The party continues with free dinner and a sundae at Red Robin.

Happy Birthday, Little Beans



My baby turned three yesterday. She had a lovely two day celebration, and there are still more presents to open. Yesterday started with presents in the morning, then a party at school featuring mom-made muffins, home for pizza and Nemo. Today 10 of her friends came over to celebrate. The party reminded me of the old "Thursday morning playgroup" get togethers we used to have when Sam was little. I got to meet all her school chums and their parents. Many of the kids were attending their first real birthday party. It was a lot of fun for everyone. No tantrums, all the parents were nice and sociable, Athena played nice -- all good.

We've been talking a lot lately about the day she came out of mommy's tummy (Sam said when he came out he was thinking he wished he was still swimming around in there -- I'm sure he's right). Here is my recollection of it at the time.

Wow, that's a really cool "angry face"



Athena is quite impressed with her cousin Collin.

Of sisters

Whilst nursing Athena tonight...

Me, nuzzling her: "Sweet baby. Are you my sweet baby?"
She shakes her head, no.
Me, puzzled: "You're not my sweet baby?"
Athena:"No, I'm your big sister."

ps -- Happy Birthday to my *actual* big sister.
