Can you believe our Mac is two?

The birthday party

When Gretchen has her baby next January, the three of us will have had a baby every year since 2006. Annika, Finn, Miles, Maren, Graham, and baby-to-be. Whew!

Father and son getting ready to par-tay.

Hanging out, opening a few more presents.

Miles took one look inside and said, "choo, choo!"

Exciting!!

Grandma made him this beautiful red sweater. It was waaaay too hot to try it on, though.

Grammie Sue sent some great books.

And this super-fun Duplo set came all the way from Norway.

Birthday trip to the dog park

Grandma took Mac to the dog park in an effort to wear Lyle and him out. It worked.

Auntie Dania came to visit.

And, boy, is she fun! I don't know whether Miles or I was more happy to have her here. She even came to the dog park with us, so Lyle was pretty glad to see her, too.

Lyle taking a well-deserved break.

I can only imagine that Mac and I are barking here. I don't know what Graham was up to.
