Amalia's birthday

So last Monday was Amalia's birthday, she turned two! We had a party for her on Sunday and many of her best friends came by to celebrate. She loves to follow Simone and Chloe around and is desperate to be a big girl!

Lisa's mom was visiting and was a big help in preparation for the party. They made cakes, snacks, punch, etc. It was quite a spread and I have been eating leftovers all week.

Unfortunately, Amalia's birthday was accompanied by disease. Amalia got sick Monday mornign and spent most the week at home with a fever. Lisa's mom was sick for much of her visit. And today Lisa got sick. All three had fevers and were generally miserable. Hopefully this is the end of it for a while.
