Happy Birthday to you....

Sunshine loves to sing "Happy Birthday"- it is her song of endearment. If she loves someone or something she will probably sing "Happy Birthday" to them/it at some point. We sing "Happy Birthday" to her stuffed animals regularly, actually almost every morning when she wakes up. I am guessing that she will be real excited when people sing to her in a few weeks to celebrate her 2nd birthday!
So you may be wondering what this picture has to do with the song. Well, we stayed in downtown San Antonio a couple weeks ago. We arrived at night, so the Tower of the Americas was lit up, and she was very intrigued by it. We were lucky enough to have a view of it from our room. Sunshine sat in the window with her baby doll and sang "Happy Birthday" to it. We loved it- maybe more than she did :)!

Alex & Leah Visit

Two weekends ago my youngest sister Leah and her husband Alex came for a visit. They had spent some time in the San Antonio area and at Matagorda Bay and then stayed with us for the weekend before heading back to Kansas. We had such a great time with them! I wish we could see them both more often. We had fun touring the Blue Bell factory (bottom pic) and just hanging out at home. They made a great impression on Sunshine as she is still talking about them and that they had to go home. They gave her some seashells that they found at the beach and she loves to carry them around the house and talk about Uncle Alex and Aunt Leah. Thanks for the great weekend! Come back soon :).
