Yes, it's true. My baby, my last baby, is 2. It's the last 2nd birthday I'll throw for a child of mine. A little bittersweet, so much fun! She is entertained by simple things. She is so fun, so funny, so sweet, so spicy, so yummy...every day I squish her dozens of times. Sometimes she loves it, other times, she does not. She is 2, and she is 2 in every sense of the term, the age. She's learned to slam doors, then hugs her monkeys and penguins so tightly telling them 'I've missed you so much Acito'. We're not sure what or who Acito is, I'm sure it's from Dora since she is borderline obsessed, but they are all Acito and she loves and misses them multiple times per day. She makes me laugh, she makes me smile, she makes me sigh (both good and bad), but she makes me LOVE being her momma! Every day, every minutes of every day, I am so grateful that I have her, that we have her. She is just nothing more than a tremendous, wonderful, beautiful blessing that we were given. She's changed our lives, our days, and I wouldn't trade it for anything or everything! I love you Miss Maddy Jane! I'm so proud to be your mommy!

Brief update...
This one is about me, or more importantly (is that even a word?), me and my dear friends. My cute hubby decided I needed a girl's trip. He called my friends and set up a weekend that worked for everyone. Now in saying that, Dan has never been really good at keeping a secret/surprise, so that night, he woke me up to tell me. I won't lie, anxiety set in at the thought of leaving my baby for the first time for more than one night! The next day Dan booked all of our flights, some of us leaving California a month from the rest...but his intentions were good. We were all going to Kim's in Southern Cal.
I met Kimba in 1998, at the tail end of my 1st marriage. (Was I even married before? Because it doesn't seem so...) She was my next door neighbor. Single mom with the most beautiful daughter. We hit it off immediately! I met Ter-Bear and her then boyfriend, now hubby, in line at the airport on our way to Cancun in June 1999 to celebrate being newly single. Carma came next... These 3 ladies have been my dearest friends for over a decade. Through more kids, marriages, etc, etc, they have been there. I love them all! They are beautiful, they are sweet, they are fun! They have hearts of gold! Ladies...so glad you are part of my life, I love you all!
Our trip was perfect! It was awesome! No anxiety, just pure relaxation, and even though we hadn't done this in years, it was like no time had lapsed! We hung out, we ate out, we shopped, stayed in Old Towne San Diego, watched an 80's play (hence a lot of the laughter)...the weather was cooler than anticipated, but the trip was awesome!
Newport Beach!!
