Mia Gianna's second 2nd birthday

Yesterday, Nana and Aunt Dawnie paid us a visit.  We had a lovely time together.  We also celebrated Gianna's birthday (again!).

Even though it is not Bode's birthday, Bode got a few presents, too.  Bode got a new bike from his Nana.  RWF took it for a spin.

Aunt Dawnie brought Bode a special box of shells from Myrtle Beach.  He loves opening up the box and looking at all the different shells.

(This is so cute. I wish it had been cropped better when I took it!)

See ya

Another lovely family day. I'm getting spoiled, having so many visits from family lately.  I think August is going to be a long month, with no "planned activities" for the kiddos and waiting for this baby to arrive!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mia Gianna (photos)

Here are some photos of the birthday girl. I don't have allll the shots uploaded, but I'm sure this will do (for now...heh).

Gianna's birthday was a busy day, but somehow, it was just the right mix of celebration and relaxation.  I think Miss Mia had a lovely birthday.  Every time she walked into the kitchen and saw the decorations and balloons, she'd exclaim, "Oh!!! Hap-birfday!" like she was continually surprised by it being her birthday.

Today we walked early in the morning to avoid the heat.  (oh gawd, the heat! the heat is killing this pregnant mama!)

Why yes, that is one of Gianna's neckrasses, thank you very much.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our lovely G! We love you so much, little Miss Mia!
