We are 2 and 4!

Since our last post, we celebrated Hudson's 2nd birthday and Raegan's 4th. Many other things happened in between, so I've got three different slideshows for those who are interested or just wondering if we're still alive. Tony's work has been busy pretty much since January, and he's also training for a few triathlons this year. I've been playing a little tennis, planning parties, showers, trips, doctor appts, etc. We're ready for a slow-down but not sure if we'll get one for another few months!

For Hudson's birthday, we celebrated with cupcakes at the playground w/neighborhood friends and then had cake and ice cream with Jason, Mina, and cousins on his actual day. The next weekend when my parents got back from their vacation, we celebrated again with my side of the family. Hudson is not a fan of crowds, so I think this was right up his alley. He probably thinks birthdays mean 10 cupcakes and 2 weeks of celebrating. I guess they do.



Raegan had an ice cream party at our house. About a week before her party, my friend Courtney did a very similar party for her 2 year old. She is a super-creative marketing person, and had all kinds of cool things for us to borrow for our party, like a play ice cream shoppe complete with aprons and cash register. Thanks Courtney! Rae's party was on the same day as the neighborhood Spring Fling, which worked out as a great distraction while I finished up party prep. Raegan was so excited all day long (all month long, really), and she was quite the hostess at her party. She did a great job playing with all of her friends, passing out cupcakes, and being well behaved. I was so proud of her! She has really come out of her shell over the last year. Poor Hudson has been struggling with his asthma and the medicine we're using to treat it. He wanted to be held the entire day only by Tony, which meant our photographer was a little distracted. Hopefully we'll get more pictures from family/friends who were there (hint hint)!


Here are some highlights of other goings on in our family over the last few weeks.
