Wow, I can't believe how time flies around here. Can't keep up at all. So much going on between work, family and home. But I guess that is a good thing! Looking forward to Chase's birthday party this weekend. If you didn't receive an invite, it is only because we are keeping it small this year and just invited grandparents and a couple of Chase's buddies. We know you will keep Chase in your thoughts on Thursday as he turns two! He is so very lucky to have a wonderful group of family and friends. He is having a barnyard/farm party since he just loves barns and animals, so I will post pictures from the day for sure.


Over the weekend, Famous and I enjoyed a quick trip to St Louis for Mardi Gras with our friends, Adam and Stephanie. It's funny that we first discovered Mardi Gras in St Louis (by accident!) with them so many years ago. Famous and I were counting and we have now been to five of them in St Louis. Our first was in 2003 with a few years off since Chase came along. We had a great time and was nice to enjoy some free time away!


Chase continues to show great verbal skills, putting together sentences more and more. Just today, he gave me an empty juice box and said "put in trash can mama" and when he is ready to go he says "get coat go bye bye". He is just such a smart cookie! Along with all that smartness comes more and more mischief...note the potato flake incident above. I am sure we are just beginning to enter the terrible twos...he is such a turkey, but you just can't help but to laugh at some of the things he does, even though you know he is testing our limits! Oh well, this too will pass.
