Yesterday we had the best playgroup at stroller strides! The Chesapeake Fire Department brought a fire engine and ambulance to the park for the kids to play in and did a demonstration of the the truck and their gear. First thing they did when they came was hand out hats and stickers. They were so nice and informative. The kids had a great time!
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!*

Today I bought a second bouncer for $10 from a fellow stroller strides mom. Now that we have a bigger house I thought it would be good to have one downstairs and one in the playroom. First thing Brooke did when we got home was put her baby in it and offer her baby toys, milk, and rocked the baby. Someone’s practicing to be a big sister! 🙂
Here is my 6 month baby bump with our second child.
