Dear Grandparents

I have a sizable stack of developed photos for each of you - hand picked for your optimal enjoyment. I've had these stacks for three weeks now. Shameful. I need to send them. If you're bored at work or looking for a way to pass time, call and harass me. I may just get on top of mailing these out that much faster. I keep forgetting and it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of my pile. Eek.

Just to keep you in the loop - we are in the process of planning Kellie's second birthday party. As many of you may know, her first birthday party was as low-key as they come. Knowing our little bean, we decided less fuss was in her best interest. This year? She's all geared up for a big girl party and we're going a bit overboard to make up for the dud I threw last year (Sorry we sucked you into the lameness, Gudgels!)

We'll be having Kellie Allison's Elmo themed second birthday bash at the Imaginarium Children's Museum. We'll have a host put on a bubbles display and it will appear as though itty bitty Elmo clones have taken over Alaska. Two of Kellie's best friends are leaving town mid-November, so we'll start the celebration early by rocking the 16th of November. We'll celebrate the actual anniversary of her birth by going out to dinner in her birthday best dress - a berry shimmery gown with a black velour bodice.

Feeling loopy yet? Welcome to the inner workings of a maniacal mother's brain. :D All are welcome here.
