The Youngest is now 2

...and we're that much closer to being a diaper-free family! Ella had her second birthday on Friday, and we celebrated yesterday (Sunday) at the neighborhood pool. The water was freezing, but actually ended up feeling nice after you got used to it. Two out of 4 cousins were in attendance--the Faulkner's couldn't make it due to sickness in the household, and we didn't think it was wise to expose the rest of us to whatever ailment they were sharing over there. Two out of 4 grandparents were in attendance, as well. My parents in Florida are planning a trip up here at the end of the month and so decided to sit this party out. I'll get some pictures online when I get them off the camera.
