Look Who is 2 !!

Well, I have to admit, the day started out and I was feeling horrible because we didn't have any MAJOR plans for Parker Jay's 2nd Birthday. And, it's such a big deal!! But, somehow this evening, it all just worked out. Unfortunately, the only people who weren't able to make it were Jay's mom and stepdad. She had to go to Florida and so she wasn't here. It was pretty sad. But, my mom called this afternoon and said she wanted to come by and bring Parker a present and a little cake. So, then Corrie called and said she could stop by for a bit, and Macy called. And, Dan and Martie called and said they were on their way too :) Oh Parker just loved all the attention. And, my heart smiled because I wanted and needed him to have lots and lots of good love and attention since we brought his brother home 3 days ago from the hospital. The cutest, most memorable thing was probably when Parker opened up his Thomas the train gift with track from my mom and stepdad, and he played with it nonstop for like 30 minutes. Then, he walked over to the empty box, and took it to them and said, "James?" "James?" "You find James?" he was looking for another TRAIN! Then, he grabbed my stepdad's hand, and said, "You find me James?" in his most pitiful voice. Oh, we were all jello pudding in his hands. He enjoyed playing with everyone and loved the tissue paper. He ran around naked in his birthday suit after bathtime and went to bed pretty easily..with his new organic monkey from Dan and Martie and his Thomas the train. What a wonderful day.

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
