Party time.

As I'm sure many have noticed, my posts have become less and less frequent. I assure you, this is through no fault of my own, but I blame little boy Wambeke. He is making mommy very very sleepy these days. I slumber about nine hours a night, and still manage to fall asleep for another hour during the day. I seem to recall being much less tired with Ana. But then again I seem to recall not having a toddler to run after either.

We did, however, manage to have a grand soiree for Ana's second birthday, which officially isn't until Tuesday, but we couldn't wait. Dan grilled the brats so we could have a taste of summer, Margrit painted faces, everyone ate to their hearts content. It was a splendid afternoon.

Here is a shot of the revelry.



And one of the lone griller.



Gianna update: Keep the prayers coming! As i mentioned last time, Gianna is still very weak and needs round the clock care even though the tumor has been gone for several months now. She has zero energy and seems to be suffering some kind of paralysis as she can barely move even her arms. The doctors at Children's couldn't figure out why she hasn't been recovering and has sent Gianna to the Mayo where Jennifer and Tom are hoping to learn more.
