Andie turned two years old! She received a fitting crown in the mail from Ann Marie and Jeff.
Andie was also honored to have Bill and Judy drive all the way from Oregon for her party. She loved the swag new wheels they brought with them!
She rides it around all the time!
We were also super honored to have Darlene, the fantastic nurse practitioner who took care of Kristin and Andie while Kristin was pregnant, and Connie, the wonderful doula who helped Kristin and Andie through labor and delivery, join us for Andie's birthday celebration. Kristin's main regret of the day was failing to snap a pic of these incredible women with Andie, but she feels oodles of warm fuzzies from having them there.
Andie thought it was pretty awesome to get to eat sugar all day long.
With the help of some more sugar, Andie got a second wind later in the afternoon, and enjoyed spending time with family.
Hawkeye was pretty sure the party was for him, and might have received just as many sugary treats as Andie did.
Andie got to open a couple of presents before bed from Grandma and Grandpa and Tashi.
She enjoyed a final bit of sugar from Nancy and some singing before calling it a night.
Between spawning abalone and teaching scuba classes, Kristin and Jason have been a bit busy lately (hence all of the catch-up in this blog post). We were very fortunate to have Grandma Jane and Auntie Sue visit to help us though an exceptionally busy time a few weeks ago.
Grandma got some nice photos of Andie during their visit ...
Andie also got some beach time "being green" at the marine lab for a beach clean up on St. Patrick's Day.
As usual, we've had all sorts of other shenanigans in the past month. We've donned silly hats ...
We've enjoyed time with the dog ...
... and splashed in the pool.
We've eaten meat at "Hops" ...
We've had baths to remove the evidence of all of our eating ...
Kristin has gotten to play with liquid nitrogen ...
Kristin and Papa were super fortunate to get to see the dress rehearsal performance of Hamilton at the Orpheum in San Francisco ...
Andie has started to have more opinions about the outfits she wants to wear ...
We've had relaxing times drinking tea together ...
It's been such an amazing month, that sometimes we fell asleep at the lunch table.
We can't wait for what the next month, and all of Andie's third year, have in store!
We had a party to celebrate Andie's second trip around the sun. Hawkeye had a great start to the party when Nana had an oops moment while preparing the chili.
It was a perfect, sunny day amidst all the rain we had this winter.
Andie was super excited to have her dear friend, Tashi, from daycare celebrate her birthday with her.

Andie was a trooper all day, but crashed pretty hard after Tashi went home.
Papa took a snooze, too.

Andie is finally getting a hang of the whole 'opening presents' thing. She loves all of the new books, toys, and clothes she got for her birthday.

As usual, we've had all sorts of other shenanigans in the past month. We've donned silly hats ...
... and silly faces.
... and the dog has enjoyed time in the creek (look for the giant pink tongue in the middle of the photo).
We've had sand between our toes (and other places, too) ...
... and splashed in the pool.
We've eaten meat at "Hops" ...
... flatbread at the wine bar ...
... and cheese and crackers and Nana and Papa's.
We've had baths to remove the evidence of all of our eating ...
... and baths to give Kristin a chance to submit proposals for saving an endangered species when daycare is closed.
Kristin has gotten to play with liquid nitrogen ...
... and Jason has gotten to play with fire.
... and all of us are super fortunate to see Andie's dress rehearsals daily.
We've jammed out to rock-n-roll ...
... and discovered Andie's love of 90's rap (please ignore the goon on the right).
... as well as the ones she doesn't want to wear.
We've had relaxing times drinking tea together ...
... and Jason had some not-so-relaxing time as the butt of an April Fool's Day prank.
It's been such an amazing month, that sometimes we fell asleep at the lunch table.
We can't wait for what the next month, and all of Andie's third year, have in store!
