It was my Niece’s 3rd birthday last week and there was a little party on Saturday.  And although I wish I had time every single day to see my Dad, he works, so it just isn’t possible.  I wish his Doctors would tell him to stop working, but they won’t, so to work he goes.  Apple spent a rare few minutes on her Grandpa’s lap.  And by rare, I mean she doesn’t sit on anyone’s lap for more than a second before she is off and running again. So I pulled out my camera and snapped a few shots.  Dad was swinging the chair from side to side and singing some silly song that kept her captivated.  Then as quick as the song was done so was she and she was off and running again.

I was telling my Sister how I wanted to get some good pictures of my Dad and Mom together, you know, ones where he isn’t singing, laughing or has a jube jube hanging out of his mouth,  but actually smiling.  She reminded me that this is how Dad is, so I should just be happy with all my silly photos of him.  And  yes she is right, I am happy with them all, but would still like at least one nice one of the two of them together smiling.

J and his cousin J2 were running like the wind through the living room.  I actually caught this photo by accident and had to lighten it up to catch his expression.  Which is priceless and exactly the face he makes when he is running and on a mission.  They were playing Egypt so he was running to get his Mummy attire.

 And last one to share from Saturday, Apple trying so hard to crawl around in her dress.  This dress is very cute, but also a bit longer than she is used to so while she was pretending to be a dog she ended up crawling up on her feet.  It was very cute, especially all the little barking noises she was making. *Note to self, try to catch her dog imitation on video before she stops doing it.

And that was our partying it up for the weekend.  Stop the excitement is killing me!!  Just kidding of course.  We had a fabulous time and spent the rest of the weekend cleaning the house and putting away laundry, not too exciting if you ask me.
