Happy 2 years!

Crazy that 2 years have gone by.  The boys are so big.  And we are all 2 years older?!?!

It was a low-key birthday.  We were all in Austin for SXSW (the thing that has consumed me since the beginning of the year - working for one of our clients) until Tuesday (3/16).  Steph and I came back to Dallas - mom kept the kids, thank you mom! - to spend a little bit of much needed time together.  Then, on Thursday, the actual day of the boys' birthday, my mom and Steph met each other in Waco.  Steph brought the boys back and spent the rest of the day getting settled into the house.  We decided that we would spent the evening together, just family, and wait for the weekend to have a little party.

On the way home from work, I stopped by the store and got balloons (they LOVE balloons) and an ice cream cake.  We were all so excited to see each other because it had just been too long.  I don't feel like I've been around much at all lately and especially being a part from each other for a couple of days - we were all wanting to be with each other.

The boys loved their cake.  They loved the balloons even more (I got Gracie one, too).  It was a great night together. 

We didn't end up doing anything over the weekend.  Nick woke up on Saturday morning with what looked to be pink eye so it has sequestered us to the house all weekend. 

It's been a great weekend, but I don't know that any of us can believe that they are already 2.  Sigh.
