Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Kaleya — Happy Birthday to You!!!

Today is Kaleya’s 2nd Birthday and we are all pooped out after this weekend’s celebration. It was so much fun though and I no longer feel guilty that we did not do a celebration for her 1st year. I think she is more able to appreciate it now

We had a great time! We went to Evansville so that she could celebrate with her brothers and she had lots of family there too – including a girl cousin (such a rarity). We had Dora, Backyardigans, and the Disney Princesses all making appearances in the decorations and of course, we had cake and ice cream. Kalonji got her a pinata for all the kids to open and that was crazy – it was so cool to see all the candy spill out on the floor and everyone going for it!

And, her main present was a Dora mini-ATV. She was quite eager to get on, but on the first ride, had a little malfunction (partly my fault) and she fell off. Well, after that, she didn’t want to get on it. So, we had her cousin ride it until she was sufficiently jealous to try and push him off so she could get on – worked wonders!

And, of course you know me — i do have more pictures up – you can see them here.

We are back from the underground!!

Oh – I am so happy to be back up. Tonite, our phone is on and we got the DSL up and running. Without having internet access for the past week and a half, I have felt so unconnected from the world. However, that has been good for me in the new place b/c last week I had nothing else to do but unpack.

The move went well. Our belongings were picked up on the 29th and delivered to us here in Nashville on the morning of the 2nd. We love our new place and I managed to get all of our boxes unpacked (with the exception of about 8 boxes for which I need to buy bookshelves for them). And, just today, we got rid of all of our empty, broken down boxes.

Kaleya likes the new place a lot!

Then, this past weekend we went to Evansville for a quick visit. Kalonji’s mom got a new house so we went to go help with the move. Had a good weekend, but I was sick as a dog on Saturday. I thought I was never going to get better – but some TheraFlu and lots of rest later, I felt fine enough to go back for my first day at work yesterday.

This week, we are doing various things around the house – hanging pictures, etc. We are going to Evansville again this weekend – Kaleya’s birthday is Monday, so we will celebrate up there with her brothers. Should be fun! Hopefully, all will return to some normality next week.
