...wait I forgot PICTURES!!!

Nicolas & Eva "swimming"

The Flynn/Brum Family
ok, so these aren't from the birthday...but I just wanted to see some photos up here! More photos to come!

Let's Get This Started!

Well, here I am...I signed up for this BLOG quite some time ago. I wanted to do this as a electronic record of my first years with my son. Well, yesterday Nicolas turned 2 if that is any indication on how hectic life with a child has been for me.

Nicolas is my little sweetie...perfection. I can't believe our 1st two years have already passed us by! It is my new goal to post here once a week (minimum) to keep track of our hectic lives and share it with anyone out there who cares to "listen".

Ok, yesterday, May 8, 2007 Nicolas turned 2. We had planned an elaborate (in my opinion) party for him. It was scheduled for the weekend before his birthday. Well 3 days to go and Nicolas got the flu & Brian followed quickly afterwards! FIGURES...all plans were put to a halt and now the festivities will commence this Saturday.

Even though it will no longer occur on Cinco de Mayo, we are still having a Mexican themed menu...but the decorations are ALL boy. CONSTRUCTION...caution tape, orange cones, hard hats, a construction worksite cake...the list goes on! I am a bit nervous but at the same time I can hardly wait.

Nicolas DID get to celebrate his birthday, low key, on the actual day. He LOVES opening presents. He is afraid to start the tearing, but as soon as you make a little hole, it is all over! He is usually disappointed when there are clothes and keeps looking for the "real" present! He got a wonderful play kitchen & money from grandma & grandpa Flynn, clothes, a puzzle, sidewalk chalk, bubbles & other goodies form his "girlfriend" Eva. A tractor like toy from grandpa, money from grandma Brum...the list goes on! What great friends and family we have! More later...
