My sweet baby Dean turned two today! He is a sweet, happy, active, hilarious little butterball. I love him so much.

Easter Egg Hunt
We celebrated Easter a day early today with an egg hunt and dinner in San Antonio. The boys had so much fun finding eggs, and we all overdosed on candy. Thank goodness the adults had wine to balance out all that sugar!
More.
Tomorrow the boys will find that the Easter Bunny has visited them and left a few more small treats. I'm wondering if the Bunny (and coming storms) will bring any babies Earthside... must go rest just in case I'm summoned.

Dean recently broke into my makeup box a couple of times.
Few more photos here... And the bathroom door now remains locked at all times.

Clyder Rotten
That's what Graham just named Dean's new baby doll. I record it here for future use -- Dean's rock and roll stage name, perhaps?

Catching Up: Muchos Videos!
Highlights from the month of December so far:
We had a lovely time at the annual Sights and Sounds of Christmas event. Graham's favorite booth was ice skating -- the children scooted around on linoleum sprayed generously with Pam.
Meanwhile, Dean had a nice time mingling with the reindeer.
They both loved the jiggle bug train, petting the camel in "Bethlehem," and the carousel.
Zach and Dean at the Mother's Day Out Christmas pageant.
Graham still hasn't actually sung in one of these productions, though his antics are often amusing. I may have to reevaluate my predictions of him being the singer/songwriter in the Thomas boys' band...
Graham finished up his soccer season. Go Boas! Maybe next year he'll score a goal.
Of course, my month was remarkable largely for coming down with shingles, followed by a really brutal cold. Today was the first day in almost two weeks that I woke up feeling pretty normal. I celebrated by taking the boys to Going Bananas, an "indoor playnasium." They have toys, slides, and many inflatable jumping/climbing things set up. It totally wore us out, but we had a blast.
Because of the shingles, I had to quarantine Dean all week waiting to see if he would come down with chicken pox, as he has not yet been vaccinated against it. He did not, and I admit I am miffed. If I had to deal with a whole week of stir-crazy children, we should at least have saved ourselves a shot! Bah humbug. Anyway, it was good to finally leave the house.
Today I also finished assembling their new teeter totter. They love it (and will probably love it more when Dean's a wee bit bigger.) Out of state readers should note how Graham's not wearing pants. It was 80 freaking degrees today.
I highly recommend this thing. It was simple to assemble, it's cute, and it's a friendly size for small children and small yards. Also cheap! I found it for $30 on eToys with free shipping. I loves me a bargain!
I see that I must be more regular in my posting habits if I'm going to be posting videos on here. A resolution for the new year, perhaps?

31!
Today is my birthday. You may leave your love letters in the comments.
My 30th birthday was angst-free. I was really delighted to be entering my 30s, and was happily secure in the knowledge that I was exactly where I wanted to be in my life. All was well in Elizabethland.
This year, however, I'm feeling a little more glum about the passage of time. Mainly the whole "what the hell am I going to do with my life?" question looms a little larger. Also, I have a lot more gray hair that I did a year ago. And I realized that I'm now in the Botox marketing demographic. I'm not planning to get it, but still!
Anyhoo, I'm still planning to rock this birthday -- and this year! I got off to a good start with my fabulous birthday present from Zach: a Flip camera! We are already having fun with it:
Maybe we should just get them a giant roll of bubble wrap for Christmas.
