iPhone Pictures

I just uploaded some iPhone pictures of me and my boo. I only take about 100 a day!

Hysterical

Justin is in the Philippines for a few nights. We got to video chat briefly tonight and instead of catching up on what we had done that day we spent the time making faces at each other. You know how you can distort your face on a Mac? It is an application where you can choose different ways to warp your face, it is the best thing ever. I seriously had streams of tears running down my face. No words were exchanged, just complete laughter for 5 minutes. Love it.

Charlie is ONE!

We spent Charlie's birthday at Tanjong Beach Club with friends. It was a fun afternoon even though the weather was not cooperating with us. Thankfully after lunch it stopped raining long enough for the boys to jump in the pool. He was absolutely pooped after such a fun filled day! I think we will all be sleeping well tonight.

Charlies Valentine's Birthday party

Wednesday, the day after Valentine's day, we had playgroup at our house that I hijacked into a birthday party with a Valentine theme for Charlie. His actual birthday is on Saturday. Justin wasn't thrilled that I picked a theme that is not very masculine but who doesn't love a little "love" at a party. And, I made sure everything was red and white, NO pink! However, I had to promise this was the first and last
Valentine's themed birthday for the little one.

I made heart shaped smoked salmon and herb sandwiches, heart shaped tomato and goat cheese tarts, some red pepper and eggplant dip ( in the color scheme ;))! There were heart balloons and cute Valentine gift bags for the kids. I found a pretty good recipe to make Charlie egg less chocolate chip cupcakes with yummy butter cream frosting.

Unfortunately Charlie was not in the best mood that day. I think he was a little overwhelmed after waking up from a nap and having a few people at the apartment already. He had a couple meltdowns. At the end of the party we all sang happy birthday and he had his first cupcake, it was his first actual sweet! He loved it, I think he liked the frosting the most, he gobbled the whole thing up. The group bought Charlie his first bike which is so cute, we have been pushing him around in it since! There was a lot of love that day! I can't believe he is almost one!
