Happy Birthday Princess!

I can't believe that our little Princess is already 2!!! She has changed so much over the past year. One of her greatest accomplishments is that Aubrey is now finally WALKING! She has been taking steps for a long time, but about 5 days before her birthday, she decided that walking all the time is much more efficient than crawling. It is so cute to see her wabble all over the house. Aubrey is also talking and signing a ton. It's so nice to be able to figure out what she needs and wants. We love her so much and are so grateful for her being part of our family!



Our little Princess insisted on wearing her Princess skirt all day!

Loving her new Princess chair from Auntie Jessica

Hurray for me! It's my party!


Alright, I think I can manage this one.

Yummmm...this is way better than I thought!

Her face was stained pink all night from this frosting!

Boston

We were so lucky to get to go to Boston for the week of the 4th of July. We spent the first half of the week with my Mom's family and then the second half with Mark's sister, Shauna and her family. Again I failed to take very many pictures, but here are a few highlights!


Here we are in front of the old State House
On the Mayflower II (a replica of the Mayflower).

Aubrey loved being with her cousins! Here is her and Josh at Harvard.

Our Newest US Citizen

Hurray! Mark is finally, finally, finally a citizen of the United States! It only took forever! He is absolutely thrilled to be able to vote in the November election. Congrats!!!



Our LIttle Movie Star

Well, I failed to take hardly any pictures of our wonderful trip to visit my parents in CO, but I did catch this darling picture of our little movie star! She has finally discovered that sunglasses are really fun!
