Super Excited

About Lea's birthday tomorrow! Two years old. I can't even believe it. I am sad about how fast the time has gone, but I really am thankful that I have been able to be there for every stage. I know that not every mom has that opportunity and I don't take it for granted.
The birthday events will be simple and as long as there are lots of balloons involved, I know that Lea will be content. Weather depending, we are taking her to the Manheim zoo (it is much bigger than the Kaiserslautern one and has *gasp!* elephants). If the weather is cruddy, I am laying towels over the entire kitchen and letting her go crazy with cups, water, and finger paints. I know it sounds lame and simple, but it doesn't take a whole lot to please my gal. We haven't made a whole ton of friends with kids her age here, and we have next to nil as far as social support goes, so we'll do what we do best and keep things tight with the three of us.
