Mr. M’s party was cancelled due to some unexpected vomit.  It was his own…and it was not fun for his Mommy and Daddy.  A hasn’t gotten hit yet with the bug, and I’m hoping she doesn’t, but I imagine that to be nearly impossible, since most of the time we’ve been here she’s spent trying to bite him!  biting = germs IN the mouth.

We are sad we won’t be having the scheduled Yo Gabba Gabba party as planned, but we are happy we were able to come and celebrate M on his 2nd birthday!  We’ve had a ton of fun together!  The weather has been simply amazing (except today’s rain which is working for us since we are stuck inside).  A hasn’t worn her coat the whole time we’ve been here…it has been glorious!

I wish we could live here a little.  I love my house and my town and my life back at home, but there’s almost nothing better than hanging out with a great friend and just spending time lounging, doing the day to day together.  My husband is great, but he’s no replacement for a girl friend!  AG, this vacation has gone too quickly, and I’ve had a perfect trip.  Thank you for being the best hostess & for reminding me what it feels like to have a friend just be “there”.  Thank you RG for taking all the crap I’ve dealt to you this week.  You know I love you!  Your son is an amazing boy and you should both be very proud of the great job you’ve done raising him till 2…let me know if it gets easier k?!

Dear Mister M,

We are so crazy happy that we can be hanging out with you on your special day!  It is crazy that you are 2 years old already!  You are an amazing little monkey…so smart…so funny…so sweet.  We love you so much little boy!  Thanks for bouncing away your birthday with us…and thanks for not showing Miss A how to climb up the big slide…that would have given her Mommy a heart attack!

May your life be full of bouncing, smiling, laughing, fun and partying!  May you keep your Daddy on his toes & let your Mommy rest a little!  And also…may you marry  Miss A 😉  Although, as was pointed out to us today…she’ll have a lot of competition!

Happy Birthday Mister M.  Thank you again for being such a good boy & thank your Mommy and Daddy for being amazing friends.

All our love,

the LK’s, A, T & M

Dear Little Miss O,

You are so adorable!  Now you are not a baby, I guess I will not be rocking you to sleep anymore, but I promise to try to always be gentle with you anyway!  I hope that in this next year I can come to more music classes with you & you can show me the ropes, and that we get to play in your new house & backyard because that seems like fun!  Thanks for inviting us to your birthday party!  It was lots of fun & the building has a great lobby for running like a lunatic!  I know how 1st birthday parties can be…very overwhelming, and I hope you had a good time at yours!  And that the cake was good – my mommy didn’t let me eat any since I’m a nutjob and didn’t need any more sugar that day!!!  Lets eat cake together soon k?!

Love,

Miss A

Model O!

Birthday Girl!!!

So, A is OUT OF TOWN!!!!!!!

She’s left on a jet plane, but I do know when she’ll be back again….on Monday!  As in … a week … baby free … and I’m enjoying myself so far!  She left with a little croupy cough thing, but according to Grandma, she’s behaving well & that is way more than I could have hoped for!

She knew that she was leaving & wouldn’t be around to wish our good friend RD a happy birthday today so she left this note & told me to post it for her today!

Dear RD,

I hope you had a very happy birthday and that my BFF PD helped you celebrate all day!  I know you will miss me on your birthday but I promise to give you hugs & dance with you  when I get back!

Love,

Miss A

Also, today is a very special day for some other very special people.  Our friends the G’s in NC were married 3 years ago today.  At about this time 3 years ago, we were dancing & singing & eating delicious cake with them…and celebrating a beautiful couple.  I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again…if it weren’t for my friend RG meeting this amazing girl & marrying her, bringing her into my life, I don’t know how I would have survived this long!  You help me get through everyday, even if you live super far away.  You’re an amazing friend & the best wife for RG.  He is amazingly lucky.  R, you’re also perfect for AG & she’s lucky too….but most of all I’m lucky to have you guys as such great friends!  We are all wishing you a happy anniversary & many many many more!!!!

Look how beautiful they are!

Dear AG,

I want to wish you a very happy birthday from all of us here at LKSquared.  Every single person, animal, lunatic that lives here can’t wait for you to live here too!  I hope that you get all of your wishes on your special day!  If you lived here we would make you a very special birthday cake, even though it would not be as pretty as any cake you’d make!

Thank you for being my mommy’s voice of reason & shoulder to lean on when no one else understands her.  Thank you for always listening to her whine about me & let out her frustrations of this stay at home mom thing!  If she didn’t have a friend like you, I’d probably be embarrassed to leave the house with her because she’d be bald from pulling out all of her hair!  Thank you most of all for being you!  You’re awesome!  I know we’re super lucky that my uncle R married you & brought you into our lives.  I’ll thank him one day by saying no to 1 expensive wedding item.  Maybe.

I hope this is your best year yet!

I had a talk with M before he left and told him to be nice to you on your birthday week.  I hear he let you sleep in today.  You’re welcome 😉

Love Always,

Miss A

We had the best visit with you & my future husband M.
