They say it's your birthday!

Amber turned two yesterday.

(Already? you say... I can't believe it either)

A cute card from Grandma and Grandpa

After a "Happy Birthday!" , the day started off like most days: we had breakfast, watched cartoons and did a little cleaning around the house. Then Amber stayed at a friend's house while I worked (over the phone). After that, we went window shopping for a "big girl bed" ( this will be a joint gift between Grandma and Grandpa Molnar and Mom and Dad) and bought "Big Bird's First Book of Letters ". Once we came home, it was time for a nap, and while Amber slept, I took care of few other things (work and house related) until Andrew came home.

At about 7:30ish, a UPS truck came by with a present from Christian, Kristen, Hannah, Ethan and Jack (in Seattle).

Oh fun! A box!

Mmm... packing peanuts

Cute!

A dress-up trunk with 2 Tinkerbelle dresses - wings and everything!

Later on, Amelia and Jeremiah came over for some pizza and birthday brownies, and some more present-opening madness ensued =).

What is that, uncle Jer?

Letter magnets!

Look at that smile and those hands

Let's Rock!

Please don't make me blow out the candles!

Aaalright, I'll do it

Mmm, chocolatey goodness
(much better than packing peanuts...)

That was Amber's birthday in a blogger nutshell... which reminds me, we started this blog a year ago with a mention of Amber's birthday.
It just goes to show you, it's all about...

What we did this summer

Well, I haven't been very good about posting regularly during the summer, and since Fall's already started, I better post a recap now!!

Below you'll find photo albums* of our summer adventures...

Trip to Seattle - September

One last thing that happened this summer: after waiting for a full year to hear from Immigration Services about my application for naturalization, I finally received a notice for my interview! The interview took place September 26th, and was quick an painless (2 words I would hardly ever use to describe immigration procedures...) and the naturalization ceremony is scheduled for October 23rd. Finally!
