"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Yes indeed... GQ did have a Birthday...

While we were in Utah, GQ had his birthday.  2 years old!  We had given him a bike in Iowa - that he couldn't quite ride by himself - so there weren't any glamorous presents from Mom and Dad.... BUT, he did get a cake.  And it did have balls all over it, courtesy of Laura and her excellent skills. 



Cousins Cody and Andy saved the day by bringing a present to the party.  GQ has been obsessed with this train ever since.  And I am more than happy since it has magnets that work both directions - instead of idiotic hook and eye contraptions, and I no longer have to put his train together all day.

Little things make me very happy.



A toast to a wonderful birthday.

I was surprised how much GQ enjoyed saying "my birfday, my birfday."  Maybe if I'd known how pleased he would be, I would have planned something more exciting. 

But probably not :)  After all, M didn't get a "real" present until she was 3.  So, GQ is definitely ahead of the game.

Happy Birthday GQ!!!!
