Second Second Birthday Party

On Saturday we had a party at Seger playground in Center City to celebrate the boy turning two. Jacob's grandparents came in from Detroit and lots of wonderful friends came to help us celebrate. Here he is opening some presents:

Susy made a spectacular vegan chocolate cake big enough for, well, a party.

Two Years Old Today!

Our friend Sarah the photographer spent some time with us taking photos of the boy and our whole family. Here are a few she took while hanging out with Jacob in our back yard (I'll post some of the whole fam soon). Susy and I are having a lot of fun with Jacob's second birthday, even if he doesn't seem to quite get what's going on, or why I keep singing Happy Birhtday, Jacob. Yesterday we spent about an hour blowing up balloons and watching them fly around the living room.

The Delaware Beaches

We took an adventure yesterday to the beaches in Delware, camping in Henlopen State Park near Lewes, DE and checking out Rehoboth Beach, DE. It is a beautiful October weekend here on the East Coast, Sunny and warm, and not too cold at night for camping.

First Second birthday party

Even though his birthday is still over a month away, we decided to start the celebrations early, while some friends were in town from Germany.
