I think she celebrated for almost 5 days straights. My whole family arrived at our house either on Friday night or Saturday morning. We had about 40 people to our house for Joy's party on Saturday afternoon. Joy was pretty quiet and overwhelmed by it all, even though she knew almost everyone there. She was very excited to eat her Elmo cupcakes, decorated by Aunt Christi! My family left Sunday afternoon and she had another small party at Grandma Rainbows with all the kids on Monday morning, her actual birthday. The days before, during, and after her birthday were filled with lots of birthday songs, even at 6:00 in the morning one day. We all had a wonderful time last weekend! Thanks to everyone who made it so special! Here is a highlight video of the birthday party.Monday, September 19, 2011

Surprise
Hi everyone. Joy's interest in babies has become even greater lately because we've been talking about her becoming a big sister soon. Yes, we are expecting our second baby around March 29. Joy says she wants a sister and she has named the baby Tom. :) I'm sure she doesn't understand half of what she is saying, but it is very entertaining to us. Since our due date is March 29, that puts me at 10.5 weeks now. I've been feeling nauseous most days, but mornings are the best. I'm looking forward to the first trimester being over soon which should equal the return of some energy and more normal eating habits again.
We are also looking forward to the upcoming celebration of Joy turning 2. Time has FLOWN by! She has definitely entered the terrible twos. I'm a bit surprised by the huge challenge this has presented. I'm very thankful for two sets of grandparents that love Joy so much and are so willing to have Joy visit them often. She actually just returned from a visit to the Krafve farm. Danny and I enjoyed some R&R for 1.5 days. We went out to eat and did some shopping on Saturday. Sunday started by getting some work done and then ended with us golfing and going out for pizza at Doughboys in Waunakee. I highly recommend that pizza place if you are in the area! I guess it's one of Steve Stricker's favorite spots!
Here is a picture of us the night we shared our baby news with the Rainbows.
