Thanks, Uncle Matt!

Last night, Matt was in town for a work appointment so he stopped by to spend sometime with Georgia. He brought her birthday present - a 48 piece floor puzzle featuring Dora the Explorer. After he left, Georgia worked on the puzzle and she managed to piece it together with little direction or help from us. It's pretty exciting to see how her mind works while she is working on something like a puzzle. There were only a few times when she'd sigh and say, "oooooh, I can't do it" as she stomped off with her arms folded. Each time, she'd return to the puzzle and try again. Thanks to Uncle Matt for the great present and, more importantly, for stopping by to say hello and play with Georgia.

Happy Birthday, Georgia!

Today we celebrated Georgia's third birthday. Thanks to Tante and Tony for helping us host the party at their home in Wilmington. We had a great day! Granddad & Nana and Grandma & Grandpa all made the trip to wish Georgia a happy birthday. She received many wonderful gifts, including summer clothes, balloons, a Dora magna-doodle, books and some Littlest Petshop toys. Tante also gave her the cowboy gear (hat, boots and puppet) that you see in the pictures. Giddy-up!

Tomorrow Georgia will take cupcakes to school to celebrate with her friends and teachers.

First Happy Meal and Playplace

Yesterday we met Stacy's clan, as well as her friends/families Debra/Colin and Julie/Casey, at a McDonald's in NOKY. Stacy wanted to celebrate Georgia's birthday and suspected that she would love the playplace. She was correct! Georgia had a GREAT time! Stacy observed that Georgia does not walk; rather, she bounces like Tigger. That was certainly the case at the playplace.

Thanks, Stacy! We both had a great time!

Little Cupcake

Georgia had a pre-birthday treat tonight

and she REALLY enjoyed it!

PS: We spent some time at the zoo yesterday with Stacy & Carter and her friend Debra and her son Colin. Stacy's posted a few photos from the day. Check out her blog at http://burgoonfamily.blogspot.com/.

Happy Birthday, Tante and Aunt Kathy!!

This afternoon, we celebrated Tante and Kathy's birthdays over at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Aunt Donna and Uncle Phil joined us for lunch and birthday cake (chocolate cake with chocolate frosting = YUM-O!). After lunch, we received special gifts from our Aunt Joann in Alaska. A talented and prolific quilter, Joann decided to dig into her quilt stash and sent each of her nieces a quilt. Here are some photos, courtesy of Tante (aka The Birthday Girl).

The quilts are so beautiful!

THANKS SO MUCH, AUNT JOANN!!

Birthday Dress

Someone is very excited about her birthday...

March already??

February seemed to draaaag at the beginning but, boy, did it end quickly! I guess that is the lot of the shortest month of the year. Well, here is a photo of G today. Nothing special happening but she was willing to sit and actually smile for a photo, which is rare these days!
