It has been almost a month since I've posted, but life and work have kept me too busy to compose a sentence, let alone a blog entry.
August was a very busy month that included the second birthday of our beloved daughter. Since we missed her first celebration (if there was one), we had a fish-themed celebration at our home and again in western Pennsylvania with my family and friends. Needless to say, Pumpkin was the toast of the town at each end of the state and walked away with more toys and clothes and books and CDs and DVDs than FAO Schwartz has storage shelves. In short order, we're either going to have to build an addition on the house or move ourselves out!
At each celebration, Leena delighted everyone with her exclamations of joy at each new gift, her enjoyment of the cakes and the fun she had playing with her little cousins who came to share the day. Even at her second party that was held in a part beside the world's first nuclear power plant (started by Eisenhower, no less), she found excitement in the "big smoke" that she saw from the towers. Yes, that's right, I had my baby's party next to a nuclear power plant. She lives next to a farm that frequently applies manureto the fields and her parents are waste industry professionals....I'm expecting a letter from Greenpeace any day!!!!!
It took us about a week to unwind the Fuling Furor once we got done with the party circuit, but it was worth it in the end to see her utter joy at all the fun she had. Spoiled? A little. Loved? Most definitely. Worth it all? WITHOUT QUESTION.
