Gwen's 2nd birthday party

We had Gwen's official birthday party when we were visiting in NJ the weekend after she turned two.  We thought it would be nice to have it there so that all of our NJ friends and family could gather together.  It is always so difficult to see everyone while we are there.

I didn't do any planning for this party since it was out of state and I was feeling so awful for the two months leading up to the party (morning sickness).  We were having a pool party, so I decided to just go with a very simple party.  It actually turned out really well.  The weather couldn't have been better (sunny, mid to high 80's) and it seemed like everyone had a great time.  My Mom and Step Dad have the perfect backyard for a party like this.

June picture post

Goodbye June, hello 100 degree weather.  It is literally expected to be 112 degrees today in Georgia. That is crazy!!  I'm so glad our house has central A.C.  We can just stay inside and pretty much not be affected by the heat-wave. 

In June, we celebrated Gwen's second birthday with just a few cupcakes and gifts on her actual birthday.  We also had a party for her in NJ while we were visiting there for a week (follow up post tomorrow).  Other than the party, while in NJ we also went to the beach, boardwalk, and the girls got to go on all of the rides.  I think the big attraction of the week though was the boat trip we took as a Father's Day gift for Gordon (my step dad).  It was an adventure to say the least and deserves its own post to give you the full story (stay tuned).
