Last week Oma and Opa were here to visit. We had a lot of fun with them. We all went to the reopening of the Chrysler Museum, had Brooke’s 2nd birthday party, went on a 3 year overdue tour of the Norfolk harbor on the American Rover, Stockley Fine Arts Garden Festival, Norfolk Greek Festival, the beach, Oma and Opa went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, and lots of playtime here and at the park. Thanks Opa for taking such great pictures!
Saturday was Brooke’s second birthday party and it was in the theme of her favorite thing… dinosaurs! She had a great time pretending to be a dinosaur with her cute RAWR hat, playing will all her friends in her new backyard, excavating for dinosaurs with her friends, eating dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and fruit for lunch, and of course enjoying birthday cake. She had an amazing time and it seemed all the other children, adults, and Oma & Opa did too. The next day she got to open her presents from her friends and one big present from Mommy and Dadda. Happy 2nd Birthday Brooke!
* A big thank you to Jen for the cute home made decorations and cup cake toppers and Opa for taking all the pictures!*

This past week we celebrated Brooke’s 2nd birthday. We’re still not sure where the time went, but Brooke has grown up into a very happy toddler. We had a nice morning with pancake muffin’s, then we rode our bike’s to the park and played. In the afternoon Laura and Brooke played with bubbles on the back porch and opened some cards and gifts. Overall, a very fun 2nd birthday.

For Mother’s Day last week, Brooke and I made pancakes for breakfast, then we were off to the beach to enjoy the beautiful weather that we were having. Laura got to lay on her belly in her “belly hole” that she dug, and Brooke had an amazing time playing in the sand and waves. Following an afternoon nap we finished off the day with a nice family bike ride.
The day before Mother’s Day last week we went to Hickory Ridge Farms for their Strawberry Jamboree. We had a good time picking strawberries, looking at arts and crafts, and Brooke even got a chance to sit in a police car (which she thoroughly loved).
