I'm 2!!!

So, of course Mother Nature would pick the girls' second birthday to nail us with NINE inches of snow. It was a rough trek getting there, but the party was a smashing success! Thanks to all who helped us celebrate! Here is their yummy cake....
Daddy is showing the girls how to wind the bunnies to make them hop...
My cousin Emily showing Nora how to accessorize with her birthday hat.
The Starr/Charlton clan! Wouldn't be a party without them!
Nana is helping the Nora and Iris properly unpackage their gifts.
Mark and Quinlan playing with iPhone apps
The after-party! Here the girls assemble and play with their toy trains!
Mommy knows what we like - SUNGLASSES! There's no such thing as too many!
Alright! Their new Princess ride-on. Push me, Iris! Mush! Mush!
It's great being two!

March Madness!

Made a trip to Lawrence a while back to visit our "alma mater." Introduced the girls to our old friend, Mr. Jayhawk. We'll be seeing more of him in the weeks to come. Rock chalk!
Here is a beautiful shot of Iris looking all radiant and beautiful - with Nora yelling at us in the background. You just gotta laugh....
And here's our new pasttime - coloring.
Sunglasses - the hottest accessory in the Starr household.
Who loves Youtube more than the wondertwins? Did you know they have Finding Nemo clips AND Old MacDonald sing-a-longs out there? They do.
And this weekend, we discovered the Emerald City - well, it could have been the Emerald City - we hit the motherlode at a playplace for toddlers in Shawnee.
It's called Monkey Bizness. It's the place to see and be seen for the toddler set. In fact, we saw 4 other families we know there!
They even have an art room to color and paint - although the paints managed to all get hidden by the time Nora and Iris made it to the room. Huh. How did that happen?
A great and fun way to enjoy the last weekend until our terrible twos hit!
