Happy 2nd Birthday!

Our little man is growing up.

We spent the morning of his birthday at the Newport Aquarium. He loved watching the sharks.

He loves his hard hat from the Proksch's

A new tractor from Nana and Papa was a hit.

Here comes the fire chief. Thanks to Jessica for this present.

Daddy created a dirt pit for Patrick's birthday.

Patrick asked for a giraffe cake-don't laugh.

He's trying to put up two fingers but it is very tricky.

Action shot.

Yummy!!

Gymnastics

Mary and Patrick have been taking classes at Go 2 Grow Gymnastics. It has been so fun to watch them. Both Mary and Patrick have a knack for the balance beam. Mike says they don't get their sense of balance from me. Patrick loves working on the bar. 

Twins

If you look closely you can see that Mary and her stuffed animal are dressed alike. I sewed these two dresses from a free pattern from Oliver+S. I made a third dress that I sent to Project Hope. Project Hope sends the dress to Haiti girls.

Again, Mary is dressed like Rapunzel. Mary used her own money to buy this dress and doll. She had saved up $40.
