We had Cory's birthday party last Saturday. Everything went exactly as planned, which is always a good thing for a crazy perfectionist such as myself. :) Everyone we invited was able to come and we are so thankful to have so many wonderful family members and friends.
Cory seemed to have a great time and was very excited to enjoy his very first piece of cake! He had a bite of a special "cake" I made for him last year (it was more like apple bread) but didn't want any more than that. Since then he's had a bite of someone elses cake here and there, but never his very own piece. (Yeah, yeah...call me "Mean Mommy", go ahead, it's ok!) He really enjoyed himself, that's for sure.
He also got lots of great presents. There are a lot of new construction vehicles in our home now. Diggers, dozers, and dump trucks galore! He also got a new play kitchen from Pace and Shanti and an outdoor playhouse from Grammie, Grampa and Great Gram! He is a very loved kid. :)
Here are some pictures from the party!

Today was my Mom and Gram's last full day visiting us (this time!) in Ohio. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to Cox Arboretum. The butterfly house was open and we were able to see some newly hatched butterflies! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures in the butterfly house, but they were beautiful.

My Mom and Gram fly out tomorrow morning. :( It's been so wonderful having them here! I can hardly wait for August for our trip to Maine.
