Ryan's & Aliza's Birthdays

Aliza turned two in July. We did celebrate her birthday with all our relatives when her and I took a trip to MI in June. But of course we had a little celebration the day after her birthday back home which included fireworks! (We like her to think the big July 4th fireworks are just for her)


It's amazing how much she's changed in one year. Funny thing is her whole 1st year I documented and compiled in a book. I kept track of firsts of everything: sounds she made, foods, etc.  But her second year where she made tremendous changes, I have no record but lots of pictures. I guess that happens when she doesn't sit in one spot anymore for me to do that kind of stuff. Rather I'm constantly keeping track of her so she stops stuffing the toilet with paper, coloring Patrick's drums, or beating up Moe (It's a love-hate relationship with them). 



Ryan turned nine in September. He also has a holiday weekend--Labor Day. Unfortunately no fireworks like Aliza. But this year, he got to see his favorite character, Shrek, in the live broadway musical in Seattle. He was so bored waiting for the show to start. Nothing on stage gave him hints of what we were about to see. But when Shrek came out, he just perked up and couldn't keep his eyes off the stage. He had a great time. Unfortunately it was naptime so during intermission he fell asleep and didn't see the end. He enjoyed the first hour and a half though.
