Too Much To Catch Up On In One Blog Post

So I know that I completely bypassed Christmas, but with both Richard's and Eve's birthdays in January, I really don't have much of a chance for a breather after Christmas.  My dad's birthday is at the beginning of February, so really, the festive "feel" and holiday stress don't really leave me until after Valentine's day.  It's just one big party at the Petersons all winter long!  That being said, I will backtrack later and post pics of Christmas next time.  But there have been some monumental events in our family that are more recent that I want to address first.  

First:  Happy Birthday to my darling daughter, Eve!  I love you Evie!  She is the greatest, cutest, smartest, kindest, funniest two year old alive!  She is such a treasure in my life.  Corny--oh yeah--but true--oh yeah.  But, since her two year well check appointment is tomorrow and a little friend get together tomorrow night, I will delay posting on her birthday for a few days.  

Second:  Happy Birthday to my darling husband, Richard.  Ladies, you are looking at one fine specimen of a man: devoted husband, loving father, and an OCDish cleaner of dishes and laundry.  He turned 32 last week and I seriously could not live without him.  I am a very luck woman.  Some of his more recent accomplishments are being a key player during the winning game of Church Ball on Tuesday and getting a lot of compliments at work.  He continues to grow a sweet beard and endlessly quotes the Simpsons.  One of his goals for this year is to run another marathon.  He hates it when I remind him that he  is in his 30s while I am still well within my 20s.  Happy Birthday to my Man.

 A Party Pleaser!

  

  Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake...mmmmmmmm....

Third:  Theron turned two months old on the 17th!  He is growing so fast and getting so big!  I love it and hate it at the same time.  Luckily this means that he sleeps a little longer at night now; not waking until 3ish to eat.  So, if I'm good and go to bed early, I actually get some sleep!  He is doing well.  We love having him in our family, and Eve is constantly kissing him and telling him to open his eyes (she doesn't like it when he naps, mostly because I tell her to stop her constant yelling and shrieking).  He is getting very strong, loves to be up and looking around (not being on his tummy or back!) and loves to be around people.  He has the cutest dimple in one cheek when he smiles, which is often, though he is angry often too.
