Dear Gio: We made it to your 2nd birthday! In some ways these last two years have gone by remarkably fast, in others (like your fussy first few months of life) a bit less quickly. In every way you have changed our lives for the better. We love you so much, little fellow. Momma & Papa
Today we really did not celebrate Gio's birthday in full force as all of his gifts are still making there way here on our shipping container. Also, he does not yet have any friends here so we really could not throw a party. That is honestly quite a relief to me. I think I will wait to throw him a birthday party until he actually asks for one and helps me plan it! Ha ha. So you may see another post of a delayed celebration (any excuse to have another cake!) with some present opening. A train set may be on its way!

| Gio loves his bouncy castle. Most of his toys tend to migrate in there during the day. |
 |
| Today was extra fun as I blew up some balloons for him. |
And a tooooo long video of his antics inside his bouncy castle today. If you play it, be sure to have something else to do as I did not bother to edit.

| The cake- a gloppy mess of cream, raspberries and macaroon. Apparently a simple sheet cake does not exist in Kiev. |
 |
| Gio was disappointed it was not chocolate....so was I. |
 |
| But we ate it anyway! |
