Piper's birthday was last Saturday. We threw a little luau for her and some of her friends. It was fun. We blew bubbles, did the hokey pokey and the hula hoop, ate cake, and opened gifts. We had five kids over and their parents. Piper answered the door with an "Aloha. Thank you for coming." We worked on that all week but it usually sounded like, "loha, you coming."
Piper got books and puzzles from most of her friends. But her friend Tyler got her this riding inchworm that Piper loves. She's named it Sydney (yeah, do you think she's going to have a hard time leaving).
The only unfortunate part of the day was the fact that Zoey couldn't come to the party. She had had a slip in the tub earlier in the day and had to go to the hospital to have surgery. They ended up removing her bottom four baby teeth so she'll be missing them until the adult ones come in...in four years. So sad. But she's coping well and you can hardly tell that they're missing unless you look hard.
It could take me forever to write the "things we love about Piper" post since there are so many but I'll write it soon.

Wow! It just hit me that Piper isn't a baby anymore, she is a little girl! It looks like you had a great time. She is going to miss Sydney, but I think you and Rick are going to as well. Heck, I miss Sydney and I have only been there twice. Great city! Look out Cleveland here come the Johnsons! Happy Birthday Piper! We will have so much fun in Tahiti! Can't wait!

Happy Happy Birthday, Piper Dear. Love the luau theme. Looks like they all had fun. So sad about little Zoey. Can you believe your baby is a two year old? When do you depart Australia?
I can't believe you're leaving this Friday. I'm still lamenting that I never got to come for a visit. I can't wait to hear all about Tahiti and Sydney and everything in person! We would love to get together with the Johnsons.
The photography is at a halt because Carrie and I are trying to figure out the editing half. We took a Photoshop class but it was not as helpful as we had hoped. I feel a little overwhelmed and wish I just had a good friend who could walk me through it. We'll figure it out. Slowly, but surely, right?
Have a great trip! Talk to you soon, hopefully.
