Carl + Cake

Better a little late than never: Carl celebrated number 31 on March 29th. He is such a good husband and daddy. We are so lucky we get to love him on his birthday and always.

I made this amazing rich delicious peanut butter and chocolate glazed + peanut butter frosted + chocolate cake for him, not because I am amazing, but rather thanks to my friend Rachel, who gave me the recipe! All of the little tips were so helpful -- I love recipes like that. I highly recommend the cake, and celebrating birthdays! Cheers to Carl and many more!

Carl turns the big 3-0! (+ Grace at 22 months)

Carl turned 30 on March 29th...he has accomplished so much in three decades! Grace and I are so blessed to have him as our daddy and husband. Our friend Amy (check out her amazing blog!) made an incredible bike cake. She is so talented!

Grace hit the 22 month mark over last weekend. She is a growing girl! Not a lot has changed since the 21st month. She is saying phrases more and more like, "All done," "All gone," "I go," "Ah bite (a bite)," "I tit (for I sit)," "Tis you (thank you)," and "Bess you (bless you)." She is also identifying things by their names more and more instead of just pointing and whining! She also has a growing fascination with trucks. She calls them "cucks." ANY time one goes by our house, even if she can't see it, she alerts me with a gasp and "Cuck!" She is also becoming more aware of her actions. She knows if she pushes a friend it is wrong, so she immediately turns to them for a hug or a kiss. I'm glad? Two is just around the corner!
